RALEIGH - Governor Roy Cooper announced Tuesday, North Carolina will be moving into a “Safer-at-Home” Phase 2.5 beginning Friday at 5 p.m.
In this new phase gyms and indoor exercise facilities will be able to open again at 30 percent capacity, but bars, nightclubs, movie theaters, indoor entertainment and amusement parks will remain closed.
Face coverings will be required when working out at gyms in “Safer-at-Home” Phase 2.5. They will also be required for any individuals when in public over the age of 5.
Additionally, playgrounds will be allowed to open while museums and aquariums will be able to open at 50 percent capacity.
Capacity limits in restaurants and personal care businesses such as hair and nail salons will stay the same.
“I want to be clear - we can do this safely only if we keep doing what we know works - wearing masks and social distancing,” Cooper said. “Moving to Phase 2.5 means we can safely do a few more things while still fighting the virus as vigorously as ever."

The good news - phase 2.6 will open everything. The bad news - it’ll be in 2021. Say, maybe this is an ingenious plot to keep the New Yawkas away.

You forgot phase 2.5.1 which will be followed by hot fix release phase 2.5.1.1.
Here in North Idaho, Kootenai County issued a county-wide mask mandate five weeks ago. It seems that everybody is ignoring it. At the Ace Hardware Store this afternoon, I counted about 25 customers and staff — only ONE walked in with a mask on.
The PEOPLE have spoken.
Yeah...several gym chains told him to eff off and they opened today.
Mine included...felt good to be back in. You cannot excercise in any meaningful way with a face diaper.
While you have to start with one, there were no mask nazis running around.
The vast majority did not wear them or had them on their chins.
Felt good to be back.
98.3% of people in NC did not get Covid.
99.9% of people in NC did not die of Covid
Similar to rural East TN...masks mandates everywhere, but outside the cities; the people are ignoring them.
