The Hang Up said along with their services, masking, sanitizing and social distancing measures will still apply.
“It’s almost like catering just with more safety basically,” The Hang Up co-founder Asantae Mickle said.
As for those choosing to still head out to bring in 2021, North Carolina State Highway Patrol said they are prepared, but adjusting to some changes like no driver’s license checkpoints this year in order to limit constant interaction between troopers and drivers. Yet the patrol presence will still be there.
“More troopers in the evening to combat that and catch those impaired drivers before they cause a collision hurting themselves or someone else,” State Highway Patrol Trooper Ray Pierce said.
