Gov. Roy Cooper, a Democrat, decreed Wednesday, April 28, that he will lift the mandate on masks for people outside, but that the indoor mandate will remain at least until June 1.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidance a day earlier removing the mask mandate outdoors.
Cooper continues to change the rules, hanging to a series of executive orders dating back more than a year. First, he talked of flattening the curve, so not to overburden hospitals. Then, he spoke of waiting for a vaccine.
