18 States in Coronavirus ‘Red Zone’ Should Roll Back Reopening and North Carolina is One of Them
“This article about the coronavirus red zone was originally published by the Center for Public Integrity, a nonprofit newsroom based in Washington, D.C.” linked here.
A previously unpublicized document says 18 states are in the “red zone” for COVID-19 cases, meaning they had more than 100 new cases per 100,000 population last week. Sadly, North Carolina is one of them. “Now we’re open, and we want to stay open and we will stay open. We’re not closing. We’ll put out the fires as they come out,” Trump said at a White House event earlier this month.
Now, the following 18 states are in the COVID-19 red zone for cases: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Utah. We need to all do our part to help decrease the spread of the Coronavirus. Stay safe and healthy North Carolina and remember to wear your mask and wash your hands!
