As of today, we've had 889,310 cases; 1,999 new cases reported since yesterday; 1,002 people in the hospital; and, sadly, 11,757 people who have died. We continue to send our prayers to those who have lost loved ones and those who are battling this virus.
Our COVID-19 numbers have remained relatively low and stable in recent weeks. While our trends look good, we're still keeping a watchful and concerned eye on the more contagious COVID-19 variants we are seeing increasing in our state.
Health experts tell us these variants spread more easily and can make us even sicker. We need to wear our masks, take this seriously and act responsibly. We’ll continue emphasizing prevention even as we focus our priority on distributing vaccines in a way that’s fast and fair.
North Carolina continues to succeed in getting shots off shelves and into arms. As of this morning, we've administered over 3.4 million doses. And 25.7 percent of adults 18 and older have had at least one shot, and 16.5 percent have been fully vaccinated. That’s fast.
We're also seeing significant progress with our efforts on equity in vaccine distribution with an increase in the percentages of vaccines going to people who are Black and Hispanic to get closer to the make-up of our population.
