RALEIGH â Nine months of coronavirus cases, hospitalizations and deaths in North Carolina. Nine months of rules governing how the state's residents live their daily lives â of shutdowns and virtual school, of closings and cancellations, of curfews and stay-at-home orders. And last Friday, more than nine months into a pandemic that has killed more than 5,600 of the state's residents, a new rule: At 10 p.m., you need to go home. A modified stay-at-home order with a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew is Gov. Roy Cooper's latest attempt to control the virus' spread as the state breaks records, often daily, for cases, hospitalizations and deaths while waiting for vaccines.
