Press release from the Town of Davidson: Posted on: February 26, 2021 Posted on: February 26, 2021 Mecklenburg County Public Health Directive to Expire Mecklenburg County's COVID-19 Public Health Directive will expire Friday, February 26, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. The Directive has been in effect since its announcement on January 12, 2021. This decision follows the Governor Roy Cooper's February 24 announcement to lift the statewide curfew and ease other COVID-19 restrictions outlined in Executive Order 195. "Thanks to our community's commitment to following the Directive and the prevention measures necessary to continue to slow the spread of COVID-19, our metrics have started to improve," said Public Health Director Gibbie Harris. "While the number of cases has decreased and vaccine has become available, that does not mean we are out of the woods yet. Everyone must continue to practice the 3 Ws and avoid gatherings with individuals they do not live with to continue the improvement in metrics and keep our community healthy and safe." The end of the Directive means: You should continue to practice the 3 Ws - wear a mask, wait 6 feet apart, wash your hands. Limit gatherings with people outside your household until most people are vaccinated. Quarantine and get tested if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 or have symptoms of COVID-19. Get the COVID-19 vaccine when it is available to you. More information about the COVID-19 vaccine is available at www.MeckNC.gov/COVID-19 or by calling the Public Health COVID-19 hotline at 980-314-9400.
