RALEIGH, N.C. — Gov. Roy Cooper issued a new stay-at-home order on Tuesday to limit the spread of coronavirus, ordering most businesses to close at 10 p.m. each night, starting Friday.

"We have to act now to save lives, preserve hospital capacity and protect our economy," Cooper said during an afternoon news conference.

The order will require all restaurants, bars, personal care businesses and most retailers to be closed between 10 p.m. and 5 a.m. Alcohol sales for on-site consumption will have to end at 9 p.m.

The stay-at-home order "means just what it says – people are to stay home during those hours," the governor said.

Historically, hospitals have considerably more patients during flu season.

Also, read this article. It appears the total of deaths from ALL causes this year (including COVID) is not much different from total deaths from ALL causes in previous years
