A STATE-FUNDED STUDY AT WA FOREST BAPTIST HEALTH SHOWS NEARLY 10% OF PEOPLE TESTED IN NORTH CAROLINA HAVE ANTIBODIES TO THE CORONAVIRUS. DOCTOR JOHN SANDERS IS LEADING THIS STUDY. HE SAYS THE PRESENCE OF ANTIBODIES MEANS THE PEOPLE WERE LIKELY PREVIOUS INFECTED OR OR MAY MAY NOT HAVE HAD SYMPTOMS. SO FAR, ABOUT 5000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TESTED. ONLY ABOUT .4% HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS HAVING BEEN INFECTED WITH COVID-19. IN NORTH CAROLINA, GOVERNOR ROY COOPER MAY ISSUE A STATEWIDE MANDATE FOR FACE COVERINGS. THAT PROPOSAL COULD COME NEXT WEEK. ONE FACTOR IN PLAY FOR THAT REQUIREMENT IS THE NUMBER OF HOSPITALIZATIONS. RIGHT NOW, 857 PEOPLE ARE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR COVID-19. HOSPITAL BEDS ARE BEING USED. 3600 ARE EMPTY, BUT STAFFED. AND 2800 BEDS ARE EITHER UNREPORTED OR UNSTAFFED. 1600 ICU BEDS HAVE PATIENT A LITTLE LESS THAN 500 ARE EMPTY. THE STATUS ON MORE THAN A — THAN 1000 ISN’T CLEAR THIS AFTERNOON.

THERE FACE COVERINGS ARE REQUIRED IN PUBLIC INDOOR SPACES. OFFICERS ENFORCING THE ORDER WILL GIVE WARNINGS FOR THREE WEEKS BEFORE THEY START HANDING OUT FINES. AS OF RIGHT NOW, FACE COVERINGS ARE STRONGLY RECOMMENDED BUT NOT REQUIRED IN ALL TRIAD CITIES. THE GREENSBORO CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSED A MASK REQUIREMENT AT ITS LAST TWO MEETINGS. BUT ULTIMATELY DECIDED NOT TO VOTE ON THE ISSUE. WINSTON-SALEM’S MAYOR SAYS HE HASN’T FULLY DECIDED WHETHER TO BRING THE ISSUE UP AT THE NEXT CITY COUNCIL MEETING TONIGHT, WXII 12 IS AIRING AN HOUR-LONG SPECIAL ON T CORONAVIRUS IMPACT. IT IS CALLED OUTBREAK, THE FIRST RESPONSE. IT WILL BE HOSTED BY MATTER OF FACT’S SOLEDAD O’BRIEN. WE TAKE A LOOK AT HOW FIRST RESPONSE TEAMS’ DECISIONS DURING THE START OF THIS PANDEMIC. IMPACTED THE COMMUNITY’S ABILITY TO RESPOND TO THIS EMERGENCY. AS WELL AS WHAT LESSONS WE CAN LEARN TO PROTECT THE NATION AND PREVENT FUTURE WAVES OF INFECTION.

THE SUPREME COURT UPHELD THE DACA OR THE DEFERRED ACTION FOR CHILDHOOD ARRIVALS PROGRAM THE PRESIDENT SOUGHT OT END THE PROGRAM, CALLING IT ILLEGAL. IT HAS ALLOWED NEARLY 800,000 SO-CALLED DREAMERS TO STAY IN THE UNITED STATES AND AVOID DEPORTATION. BUT THE JUSTICES DIDN’T PROVIDE A GUARANTEE THAT THOSE YOUNG IMMIGRANTS CAN STAY IN THE U.S. LONG TERM. A MAN IN CHARLOTTE IS ONE OF HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DREAMERS WHO WILL BE ALLOWED T STAY IN THE U.S. FOR NOW. AT AGE TWO, SANTOS ORTIZ CAME THE UNITED STATES WITH HIS PARENTS, FROM EL SALVADOR, WHO WERE SEEKING GREATER ECONOMIC AND EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. ORTIZ SAYS THE DACA PROGRAM HAS BEEN HUGELY SIGNIFICANT. >> IN HIGH SCHOOL I WANTED TO GET MY DRIVERS LICENSE, AT A JOB LIKE EVERYONE ELSE THAT I WAS UNABLE TO DO THAT UNTIL DR. CAME OUT AND WE WERE ABLE TO APPLY. IT GAVE ME SO MANY OPPORTUNITIES. I AM ABLE TO GO TO COLLEGE. AND I’M ABLE TO DO INTERESTING FOR BANK OF AMERICA. MEREDITH: ORTIZ SAYS HE HAD STARTED TO TALK WITH HIS EMPLOYERS ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE RULING WENT THE OTHER WAY. NOW, HE’S BREATHING A HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF. HAPPENING NOW, A 16-YEAR-OLD BOY FROM OAK RIDGE IS RECOVERING AFTER BEING BITTEN BY A SHARK ON THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST. THIS HAPPENED THURSDAY JUST SOUTH OF THE VILLAGE OF SALVO THE OUTER BANKS.
