According to a press release from the governor's office, the stay-at-home order was extended because North Carolina has not seen a"downward trajectory," in the number of daily coronavirus cases, or an increase in the state's testing and contact tracing. "I know that this pandemic has made life difficult for many people in our state and I am focused on keeping our communities safe while planning to slowly lift restrictions to help cushion the blow to our economy," Cooper added.
