North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper plans to lift all mandates on social distancing and gathering limits by June 1 if coronavirus metrics remain stable and residents continue to get vaccinated. The statewide mask mandate could be ended once two-thirds of North Carolina have gotten at least one COVID-19 vaccine. Cooper thinks it will be hard to reach the two-thirds threshold by the end of May. He anticipates the target being reached shortly thereafter. More than 47% of adults in the state have gotten at least one shot. Nearly 36% of adults are fully vaccinated.
