540 IS BACK OPEN. I-95 NEAR WILSON IS CLOSED FOR THE CRASH INVESTIGATION. BACK TO YOU. >>> RIGHT NOW A TIGHTER MASK MANDATE IN EFFECT IN NORTH CAROLINA. IT REQUIRES YOU TO COVER MORE OFTEN. YOU MUST COVER YOUR FACE WHEN YOU'RE NOT EATING OR DRINKING. LIVE IN NORTH HILLS WITH REACTION TO THE MANDATE. >> Reporter: SOME RESTAURANT OWNERS ARE CONCERNED THAT MANDATE WILL CHASE AWAY THEIR EXISTING CUSTOMERS. THAT IS WHY SOME OF THE OWNERS ARE DOING THIS. THEY ARE PROVIDING A MASK FOR THOSE THAT WALK THROUGH THEIR DOOR. >> IT IS THANKSGIVING EVE AND SOME ARE PICKING UP A BITE TO EAT BEFORE THE BIG FEASTS BUT THIS EVENING WAS DIFFERENT BECAUSE OF THE NEW ORDER IS IN PLACE WHICH REQUIRES THOSE DINING INTO WEAR A MASK EXCEPT WHEN THEY ARE ACTIVELY EATING OR DRINKING. >> IT IS JUST THE NEW NORMAL IN A NEW THING THAT WE HAVE TO ADJUST. >> WE SEARCHED AND ASKED PEOPLE HOW THEY THOUGHT ABOUT BEING REMINDED TO PUT ON THE MASK AFTER THEY TAKE A BITE OR SET? >> IT HAS TO BE THE WAY FOR OUR SAFETY. >> THEY REQUIRE A MASK FOR CUSTOMERS BUT IF YOU DON'T HAVE ONE, THEY PROVIDED. THEY HAVE SPACED OUT TABLES MORE THAN THE REQUIRED SIX FEET AND THEY HAVE SPACED OUT SITTING ON THE PATIO. THEY WILL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MASK BUT THEY DON'T PLAN ON WATCHING EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR DINING EXPERIENCE. >> WE ARE NOT TRYING TO RUIN YOUR BIRTHDAY OR ANNIVERSARY. WE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A MASK. >> SOME CAN APPRECIATE THAT. >> I DON'T THINK YOU CAN MAKE SOMEONE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE OTHER PEOPLE WEAR THE MASK. YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY. >> COMING BACK HERE LIVE. THE STATE HEALTH OFFICIALS FOUND A STATEWIDE THERE WAS TWO NEW CLUSTERS AND 80 NEW CASES AMONG RESTAURANTS IN THE PAST WEEK. THOSE ARE THE LATEST DETAILS WE ARE LEARNING BUT THE RESTAURANT OWNERS WE SPOKE TO ARE REALLY FOCUSED ON GETTING CUSTOMERS BACK INSIDE THEIR DOORS SAFELY. >> I KEEP TELLING MYSELF 2021 WILL BE BETTER.
