Effectiveness of the latest statewide coronavirus restrictions â including a 10 p.m. curfew that went into effect Friday â depends on whether North Carolinians obey the rules, public health experts say.
If the current slate of COVID-19 restrictions on public activities doesn t slow the virus spread, North Carolina could soon need steps like closing restaurant dining rooms, according to experts who are closely monitoring the public health response.
For months, Dr. Mandy Cohen, secretary of the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, has pleaded with residents to follow basic safeguards like mask wearing and social distancing. Meanwhile, the spread of the virus has worsened, culminating most recently with ill-advised Thanksgiving gatherings that are now beginning to contribute to record daily caseloads and soon, will likely prompt staggering hospitalizations.
