Dr. Mandy Cohen, secretary for NC DHHS, said, “I think, again, we’re just trying to share as much information so folks feel like we’re being transparent. Many of us here in North Carolina very much identify with the county we live in, which is why we share the information by county. It’s how our local health departments do their work.”
