Phase 1 of Governor Roy Cooper’s plan to reopen the state begins today at 5 p.m. Under the plan, businesses such as clothing stores, sporting goods stores, book shops, houseware stores, and other retailers are allowed to open. However, any open stores should implement appropriate employee and consumer social distancing, enhance hygiene and cleaning protocols, screen employees, make accommodations for vulnerable workers, and provide education to employees and workers to combat misinformation. Cleaning guidelines are available from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention here.
While the governor’s executive order reopens parks, the portion of Wilson Creek controlled by the US Forest Service has not reopened. Details about the US Forest Service order can be found here.
