Coronavirus Precautions

Governor Roy Cooper has announced the entire state of North Carolina will remain paused in Phase 3 through Friday, Dec. 11, at the earliest. Face masks are still required in public places.

If traveling, individuals are encouraged to check with local tourism organizations to determine if any limitations are in place (e.g., visitor center closures), and to contact lodging establishments directly for their most up-to-date information. Current destinations with various limitations in place can be found here. Please use your best judgment if traveling, and practice good hygiene while avoiding close contact with others.

More information about local restaurant resources specific to North Carolina destinations can be found via their local tourism organization, which can be found here. Visit Count On Me NC to see a list of businesses – restaurants, lodging, attractions and others – that have completed the Count On Me NC training, as these businesses are making a concerted effort to help keep everyone safe and healthy. As a guest, you can take your own pledge, too, to show you're doing your part.
