Coronavirus: North Carolina sheriff won’t enforce limit on church attendance

Blizell has been part of the executive committee of the North Carolina Sheriffs’ Association that asked Gov. Roy Cooper to allow indoor church services last week.

Cooper said Tuesday that it is more likely people will transmit the virus when they are sitting or standing in one place for a long time.

There are 15,850 confirmed cases and 615 deaths from the coronavirus in North Carolina, according to The New York Times.
