Here are the 3 phases of Gov. Roy Cooper's reopening plan

RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Gov. Roy Cooper has outlined his plan for reopening North Carolina in three phases.

Here are the phases Gov. Cooper discussed:

PHASE 1

• Retailers and services will need to implement social distancing practices, cleaning and other protocols. Any businesses specifically closed by the executive order -- including bars and restaurants for dine-in service, nail and hair salons, gyms and movie theatres -- must stay closed.
• Gatherings limited to no more than 10 people
• Parks can open subject to gathering limits
• Face coverings recommended in public
• Restrictions remain in place for nursing homes and other congregate living settings
• Encourage continued teleworking

PHASE 2: about 2-3 weeks after Phase 1

• Lift Stay-at-Home order with strong encouragement for vulnerable populations to continue staying at home
• Allow limited opening of restaurants, bars and other businesses that can follow strict safety protocols (reduced capacity)
• Allow gathering at houses of worship and entertainment venues at reduced capacity
• Increase in number of people allowed at gatherings
• Face coverings recommended in public
• Open public playgrounds
• Continue rigorous restrictions on nursing homes and other congregate living settings

PHASE 3: about 4-6 weeks after Phase 2

• Lessen restrictions for vulnerable populations with encouragement to continue practicing physical distancing
• Allow increased capacity at restaurants, bars, other businesses, houses of worship and entertainment venues
• Further increase the number of people allowed at gatherings
• Continue rigorous restrictions on nursing homes and other congregate living settings

Cooper said the state would not move to a new phase until data shows it is safe to do so.
