The move grants state agencies broader powers to respond, enables rapid hiring and deep cleaning of public spaces, and prompts health guidance urging seniors and medically fragile residents to avoid large gatherings. Six of seven cases are in Wake County prompting stricter local precautions and a push for telework and flexible sick leave in the Triangle.
