Phase 2.5 for North Carolina

 Lastly, Governor Cooper announced the state will move into Phase 2.5 Friday at 5:00 PM. The latest phase allows gyms and entertainment facilities to reopen with strict operational guidelines:

2. Limit the number of people in any given room of the facility so that everyone can stay six (6) feet apart.
