Congratulations to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on their historic inauguration today. They are stepping up to lead our country at a challenging time, but people around the country and the world, including our children, are watching with hope today. (1/4)
Even after an unprecedented attack on our nation’s Capitol, we know our democracy will prevail. I’m grateful to know our country’s new leaders are committed to upholding the ideals that are the foundation of our country. (2/4)
Thank you also to the National Guard men and women and law enforcement, including those from North Carolina, who have come together to ensure today’s Inauguration will be safe and peaceful. (3/4)
I look forward to working with President Biden and Vice President Harris on a range of issues to rebuild a stronger nation. We have tough work ahead, but we’re ready to tackle it. - RC (4/4)

Updates from Gov. Cooper's COVID-19 briefing:
As of today, we’ve had 404,032 cases; 4,670 new cases reported since yesterday; 2,373 people in the hospital, a new record high; and, sadly, 5,605 people who have died. We continue to mourn with those who’ve lost loved ones. I know this can be especially hard during the holidays.
As cases across the country continue to rise, we've seen rapid increases in our key metrics here in NC. Our case counts have broken single-day records on three separate days in just the last week, and the percent of tests returning positive has increased to more than 10%.

Updates from Gov. Cooper's COVID-19 briefing:
As of today, we have 339,194 cases; 2,419 new cases reported since yesterday; 1,601 people in the hospital, and sadly 5,039 people who have died. We’ve passed the grim benchmark of losing more than 5,000 North Carolinians to COVID-19. They will not be forgotten.
This week our state and the country are reporting record high case numbers and hospitalizations. I have a stark warning for North Carolinians today: We are in danger. This is a pivotal moment in our fight against the coronavirus. Our actions now will determine the fate of many.

As of today, we have 169,425 lab confirmed cases; 2,111 new cases reported since yesterday; 953 people in the hospital, and sadly 2,741 people who have died. Our thoughts are with all of those mourning a loved one.
Overnight, heavy rain in central North Carolina led to some swift water rescues. Unfortunately, there are reports of two children who were swept away in a car, and rescue crews continue an aggressive search to find them.

Updates from Gov. Cooper's COVID-19 briefing:
North Carolina has passed the solemn benchmark of 2,000 people who have died from this virus. Every single one of them represents a family in mourning and a community grieving their loss. They are more than numbers on a chart – they are North Carolinians who are missed dearly.
I went to Bertie County where the storm spawned a deadly tornado, leaving 2 people deceased, about a dozen injured and a trail of devastation behind. I thanked the rescue teams who assisted people who were trapped & got people to medical care. Their heroic efforts make us proud.

Updates from Gov. Cooper's COVID-19 briefing:
As of today we have 89,484 lab-confirmed cases; 1,956 new cases reported today; 1,109 people in the hospital; and, sadly, 1,552 people who have died. The loss of a loved one from COVID-19 can be a difficult and lonely journey, and our prayers are with all of you.
I know many children and parents are talking every day about what will happen with schools this year. In the spring, when this pandemic first broke out, we made the difficult but necessary decision to close in-person learning at K-12 schools and move to remote learning.

Updates from Gov. Cooper's COVID-19 briefing:
As of today we have over 65,500 lab-confirmed cases; 1,843 new cases reported today; 901 people in the hospital; and 1,373 people who have died. Today is our highest day of confirmed cases. We send prayers to those who are fighting COVID or struggling after the death of a loved.
North Carolina continues its pause in Safer at Home Phase 2, and of course we have added the requirement for face coverings when in public. Since that took effect Friday, we're encouraged to see more people wearing their face coverings when they are out and about.
