Executive Order 204 further eases restrictions in North Carolina.

  • FAQs for the Easing of Restrictions
  • Summary of current restrictions
  • Current Restrictions Infographic (Spanish)

Executive Order 204 has three general categories of occupancy restrictions: up to 100 percent capacity, 75 percent capacity, and 50 percent capacity. All businesses must continue to maintain the 6 feet of distance requirement between patrons and implement other safety protocols as they expand their capacity. The state's mask requirements remain in effect.

The Order fully lifts the restriction on the late-night sale and service of alcoholic beverages and increases mass gathering limits. The number of people who may gather indoors will increase from 25 to 50 and the number of people who may gather outdoors will increase from 50 to 100.

Review the following for more information about current restrictions:

  • Executive Order 180 - included additional COVID-19 safety measures to tighten mask requirements and enforcement.
