As North Carolina’s restaurants, hotels, attractions and businesses reopen after the COVID-19 stay-at-home order, Count On Me NC is a mutual pledge and public health initiative that empowers guests and businesses to help keep everyone safe and protected.

Businesses can become a “Count on Me NC” business by taking COVID-19 training developed by public health officials and food safety experts. The free courses are designed to provide a consistent approach based on state and national guidelines.
