To keep our many employees and customers safe, Governor Cooper announced a three-phased approach to slowly ease restrictions while combating COVID-19. These include:

  1. Social Distancing
    • Always stay at least 6 feet apart from other people.
    • Do not gather in groups.
    • Stay out of crowded places and avoid large gatherings.
  2. Wear a Face Mask
    • It is strongly recommended that all customers and employees wear a face mask when they may be near (less than 6 feet) other people.
  3. Cleaning and Hygiene
    • Wash hands with soap for 20 seconds or use hand sanitizer (with at least 60% alcohol) after touching items, credit card pin pads, etc.
  4. Monitor Your Symptoms
    • Staff and customers should be encouraged to self-monitor for symptoms such as fever, cough, or shortness of breath.
    • If you have any of these symptoms, do NOT enter a retail business to limit the spread of COVID-19.
  5. Visit Businesses at Specific Hours
    • Some retail businesses designate specific times for persons at higher risk to shop without the general population. For example, early morning or late afternoon.
