| Video Discription | North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper and members of the state's COVID-19 task force gave an update Tuesday afternoon as health officials monitor the omicron variant. It was likely the last briefing for Health Secretary Dr. Mandy Cohen, who will step down as secretary of North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services at the end of the month. Cohen went through the latest COVID-19 data showing, like many places around the country, North Carolina is seeing a rise in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations. According to CDC data, all but a few counties in the state are back in the red zone, meaning there are high levels of transmission. Right now, the majority of new cases are in young kids and teens, the least vaccinated population. Cohen said she is concerned.
