NC-GOV: Dan Forest says no masks mandate if he's governor
One dividing line in the North Carolina governor’s race is about wearing a mask during the coronavirus pandemic.
Lt. Gov. Dan Forest, the Republican running for governor, said he would lift Gov. Roy Cooper’s statewide mask mandate and wants to reopen schools, but with no specific plan about COVID-19 restrictions.
Forest is challenging Cooper, the incumbent Democrat who is running for reelection.
“When I’m governor I would lift the mask mandate for the state and allow individual freedom to decide whether they wear a mask,” Forest said Wednesday.
Cooper instituted the statewide mask mandate on June 26.
