By Loretta Cozart As of April 26, Cleve- land County had 46 cases of COVID-19, with two deaths. Currently, there are 12 active cases, and 32 people have recovered from the virus. Negative tests for Cleveland County are 703, according to the Cleveland County Health Center website. On Thursday, April 23, Governor Roy cooper ex- tended the closure of res- taurants for dine-in service and bars and closure of other close-contact busi- nesses are also extended through May 8. "The health and safety of people in North Carolina must be our top priority," Cooper said. "This plan provides a roadmap for us to begin easing restrictions in stages to push our econ- omy forward." Last week, Governor Cooper laid out the path forward centered on three things: testing, tracing and trends. Today, Governor Cooper and Dr. Mandy Cohen, Secretary of NC Department of Health and Human Services, shared more specifics on those key metrics. The Stay at Home and other orders are extended today because North Carolina has not yet seen a downward trajectory of those metrics needed to begin gradually lifting re- strictions. "North Carolina cannot stay at home indefinitely," added Governor Cooper. "We have to get more people back to work. Right now, the decision to stay at home is based on the pub- lic health data and White House guidance. North Carolina needs more time to slow the spread of this virus before we can safely begin lifting restrictions. I know that this pandemic has made life difficult for many people in our state and I am focused on keep- ing our communities safe while planning to slowly lift restrictions to help cushion the blow to our economy." "Data has driven our decisions, starting with the aggressive measures Governor Cooper took early on to slow the spread of COVID-19. Those ac- tions combined with North Carolinians' resolve to stay home to protect their loved ones have put our state on the right path. If we stick to these efforts right now we will continue to see a slow- ing of virus spread and we can slowly begin easing re- strictions," said Secretary Cohen. A detailed look at where North Carolina stands on testing, tracing and trends and more information about the three-phase plan was presented. The met- rics that North Carolina is considering aligns with the White House guidance for Opening Up American Again. In order to begin lifting restrictions, North Caro- lina needs to experience a decrease in the trajectory during a 14-day period in COVID-like Illness, lab- confirmed cases, percent- ages of positive tests, and in the number of related hospitalizations. Currently NC has seen a decrease in COVID-like illnesses. However, lab- confirmed cases are still increasing, although at a slower rate. The percent- ages of tests returning positive is increasing at a slow rate. And hospitaliza- tions are largely level with a slight trend upward. In addition to these met- rics, the state will continue building capacity to be able to adequately respond to an increase in virus spread. These include: • Increase in Laboratory Testing • Currently, North Carolina is testing ap- Coronavirus update for Cleveland County and NC proximately 2,500 to 3,000 people per day and is work- ing to increase to at least 5,000 to 7,000 per day. • Increase in Tracing Capability • Currently, North Caro- lina has approximately 250 people doing contact trac- ing across its local health departments and is work- ing to double this work- force to 500. • Availability of Per- sonal Protective Equip- ment • The state is working to ensure there are adequate supplies to fulfill requests for critical PPE for at least 30 days. This includes face shields, gloves, gowns, N95 masks, and surgi- cal and procedural masks. Currently the state has less than 30-days' supply of gowns and N95 masks. Availability of PPE is cal- culated based on the aver- age number of requests for the last 14 days compared to the supply that the state has on hand. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another. John 13:35 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3:14
