A surprise directive from Mecklenburg County Public Health Director Gibbie Harris on Tuesday afternoon said that for the next three weeks, county residents should utilize full-virtual options for work, school and other activity where in-person activity is not required.” COVID-19 community spread is at its highest level of the pandemic.

Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture, Discovery Place and McColl Center all said they would close until at least Feb. 2
