No. My information is from a person in the planning department. I expect there will be an online official announcement shortly.

ChessieMom was correct, Dare County has updated their website with the following information:


In response to updated guidelines from the CDC to avoid discretionary travel and follow the The President’s Coronavirus Guidelines for America, the Dare County Control Group has made the decision to restrict visitor access to Dare County beginning today, Tuesday, March 17 at 2:00 p.m. Beginning at 2:00 p.m., checkpoints will be established at entry points to Dare County and no visitors will be allowed access. Permanent residents, non-resident property owners and non-resident employees of Dare County businesses may review entry guidelines at www.darenc.com/entry. Staff is working to activate the online permitting system by 1:00 p.m

That is not what is happening. People are renting houses since the kids are home. Realty agents were upping their ads. It was getting crazy the last few days. Like summertime.

Mayor of Nags Head was not happy either.

They are shutting down the county, effectively shutting down Corolla too. I think it was the right call. We were scheduled to go to Ocracoke for my kid's spring break this week, but we canceled our trip.
