Time for Gov. Cooper's weekly COVID-19 briefing. #ncpol https://twitter.com/NC_Governor/status/1333862270837911552
I just pressed "1" if anyone was wondering.
Cooper:
We need to keep doing what we know works. Wearing a mask whenever we’re with anyone from another household, keep distance.
He also said they're hopeful about the vaccines.

Cooper: Our state is prepared to receive the Pfizer vaccine that requires ultra cold storage. #ncpol
Vaccine will be free to get regardless of insurance, Cooper said.
Timeline-wise, we're looking at January for vaccinations to start rolling out.
Middle of next week, Dec. 15, 16, 17 for vaccine approval, Dr. Cohen said. Hospital workers who care for or clean around Covid patients are first on the list.
Masks remain "incredibly, incredibly important" for Christmas, New Year's, etc., Dr. Cohen said.
Cooper noting that once you get a vaccine, it's a two-parter 21 days apart.
Cooper said NC hospitals have the ultra cold storage needed for the Pfizer vaccines.
On upcoming big soccer tournament: Cohen said it is against guidance, and that soccer is intermediate risk activity.
Cohen: "When our limited supply comes, those who both care for and clean areas those with Covid" will get it first. That means clinical workers and janitorial staff, too.
It's nice to report some hopefulness to start off our December:
