Phase 3 of the Reopening Plan

According to the North Carolina COVID-19 Information Hub, “As of June 2, the state’s COVID-19 trends and indicators remain relatively stable but show some warning signs that underscore the need for vigilance and a cautious approach to help slow the spread of  COVID-19.”

The N.C. Trends and Indicators can be viewed for more detail on where the state is compared to the established metric.  In recognition of this, the Rowan County Public Health Command Center urges you to remain vigilant and take precautions while in public settings. 

Be aware that you may get others sick if you’re not wearing a mask.  You may become sick if you don’t maintain social distancing.  Please take care of yourself and your family and be aware of those around you.
