North Carolina reported 691 new cases of the coronavirus Thursday -- the state's highest daily count since the pandemic started -- and, according to the state’s Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), confirmed cases reached upward of 17,000 Friday, one week into phase one of its reopening plan.
The first phase of the three-phase plan included a modified stay-at-home order that allowed people to leave the house for nonessential reasons. Parks were allowed to reopen and people could gather in groupings of 10 or less. Face masks are still encouraged to be used.Hospitalization trends have leveled over the past 14 days and the daily testing rates have doubled.
The state's second phase lifts all stay-at-home orders but encourages vulnerable people to continue to practice staying at home. Restaurants, bars and fitness centers are expected to start reopening during this time, as well, with new guidelines in place for social distancing.
