A Year in Review: How COVID has changed Davidson County
The Dispatch
Yes, it really has been a whole year since we first heard the word “coronavirus” thus beginning our plunge into a pandemic that has disrupted the world and claimed the lives of millions.
The first case of COVID-19 in Davidson County was reported on March 19, 2020. Two days prior to that, public schools suddenly closed to in-person learning and canceled all sports. By March 27, Gov. Roy Cooper had issued his first stay-at-home order, followed closely by the closure of most businesses, issuing hygiene protocols and what became known as the “new normal”.
