"If everyone could wear a face covering over the next 6 weeks we could drive this (coronavirus) into the ground," CDC director Dr. Robert Redfield just told reporters.

County commissioner Dena Diorio says they're still considering whether to require restaurants, etc. to stop selling alcohol by a certain hour, like South Carolina and Orange County (NC) have done

County health director Gibbie Harris says South Carolina is seeing significant increases and that’s a concern for local health officials, given its proximity to Mecklenburg County

Citing things like at-school meals, access to mental health resources, and socialization, Redfield says it's a greater health threat for children not to be in a face to face setting in schools

Redfield thanks the media, who are a "critical part of the public health messaging"
