Latest updates:

11:30 p.m.: More than 3,000 people nationwide have died of coronavirus-related complications, according to a CNN analysis.

7:30 p.m.: A GoTriangle bus driver who operated a bus from March 18 to 20 while experiencing coronavirus symptoms has tested positive for the virus, officials said.

The driver was on Route 300, which travels between the Regional Transit Center, the Cary train station and the GoRaleigh station, and Route 305, which travels between Apex at Lake Pine Drive and Waverly Place and the GoRaleigh station, from 5:25 to 9:35 a.m. and from 3:05 to 7 p.m. on those dates.

"Because the bus driver came to work for three days while symptomatic, it’s possible bus riders or other GoTriangle employees were exposed to the virus," Wake County Medical Director Dr. Kim McDonald said in a statement. "The fluid nature of transit makes it impossible to determine who may have had close contact with the driver, so we’ve set up a hotline for concerned residents to call for guidance."

Anyone who worked at GoTriangle or rode those routes during that timeframe and starts to experience COVID-19 symptoms should isolate themselves for seven days after the onset of symptoms, officials said.

7:15 p.m.: Two inmates at the federal prison complex in Butner have tested positive for the new coronavirus, officials said. A staffer at the complex previously tested positive.

7:10 p.m.: Multiple confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been linked to a March 22 event at Millennium Hotel Durham hosted by Faith Assembly, public health officials said.

Anyone who attended the event between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. who has a fever, cough or shortness of breath is asked to call the Durham County Department of Public Health at 919-635-8150. Anyone who attended but isn't experiencing symptoms is asked to stay home and monitor symptoms until April 5.

6:36 p.m.: The number of North Carolinians who tested positive for coronavirus has doubled in just four days.

On March 26, the state reported 693 cases. By Monday evening, that total was up to 1,336.

Total NC coronavirus cases, deaths, hospitalizations Cumulative cases Hospitalizations Reporters at WRAL News are tracking real-time updates of the latest cumulative totals of lab-confirmed COVID-19 cases and deaths across North Carolina. The number of patients currently hospitalized are reported daily by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services every morning and are a reflection of a daily survey of hospitals. Because the response rate of that survey varies day to day, we're showing a rolling 7-day average of hospitalizations calculated since the state began reporting numbers consistently on March 24.

“I’m looking at possibly a curfew, if necessary, or specifics to it because we have the ability to make it more restrictive locally, depending on our situation,” Colvin told the Fayetteville Observer.

11:30 a.m.: Now 1,310 people in North Carolina have tested positive for coronavirus, according to state numbers. There is a shortage of tests, according to North Carolina's epidemiologist and many positive cases have not or will not be tested.

11 a.m.: State Epidemiologist Dr. Zack Moore spoke to the media to explain how COVID-19 cases are tracked and provide an outlook on cases in North Carolina.

According to Moore, as more people are tested, cases will continue to increase quickly in the state and across the country.

“We have to acknowledge the bad news that this is just the beginning," Moore said. "We are in the acceleration phase of the pandemic in North Carolina, and we certainly have not peaked.”

Because it takes up to two weeks for someone to show symptoms and get diagnosed with COVID-19 once they are infected, Moore explained that it is also too soon to tell if the social distancing and stay-at-home orders implemented by the government have flattened the virus curve.

Moore also talked about the importance of not relying solely on laboratory tests to track coronavirus numbers. Many positive cases aren’t being counted because they are still waiting to be tested, and there is a national shortage of tests, he said.

For example, just because a county in North Carolina doesn't have a laboratory-confirmed case doesn't mean the county is virus-free.

“Laboratory confirmed case counts are not the whole picture,” Moore said. "They are important, but they're not the whole picture."

A piece of good news was shared. Flu numbers are starting to go down, which should help the healthcare system fight COVID-19.

10:30 a.m.: With restaurants limited to takeout and delivery across the state, local business owners are finding it difficult to stay in business. Chef Gray Brooks, who owns Pizzeria Toro, Littler and Jack Tar in Durham, said he is doing everything he can to help his employees.

"It's turned [my businesses] upside down," Brooks said in a phone interview with WRAL News. "Littler and Jack Tar are closed for business at this point, and we're doing curbside pickup at Toro."

Brooks said the restaurants are making "nowhere near the revenue we normally do" but that he can still keep some employees on his payroll and keep paying for his company's healthcare program.

Additionally, three days a week, Brooks offers family-style meals for his staff. He also is selling fresh dairy, produce and meats at a cheaper price since he gets them wholesale.

"I am proud of them," he said about his employees. "They are concerned about staying healthy, and they are maintaining social distance."

10 a.m.: At 11 a.m., the state epidemiologist will hold a press conference to answer questions about the virus and how it's being tested. The discussion can be watched live on WRAL-TV or right here.

The government's lead infection disease expert says we could see up to 200,000 deaths in the U.S. despite the restrictions put in place. On Monday morning, the number of confirmed cases in the country reached 143,000, which is quadruple the number just one week ago.

Since all salons and spas have closed, officials say some providers have been offering or getting requests to make house calls. Lynda Elliott, Executive Director with the N.C. Cosmetic Arts Board, said, since people working in the industry are hands on with the client, there’s no way to keep six feet apart.

Providers who make house calls are at risk of losing their license and being charged with a Class II misdemeanor.
