Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper issued new coronavirus restrictions this week, requiring residents to mask up at home and in their cars if they are with guests. “The order tightens the existing statewide mask requirement – making it clear that everyone needs to wear a mask whenever they are with someone who is not from the same household,” Cooper’s office said in a statement.
The new executive order amends a previous order to require face coverings indoors "if anyone else in that space ... is not a member of the same household." Indoor gatherings will be capped at 10 people, and outdoor gatherings at 50.
The order also adds mask requirements in gyms, schools and vehicles, both public and private, even while adhering to social.
