According to Currituck County as of March 20, 2020 at 10:00 pm access to the Outer Banks communities in Corolla and the 4WD area is denied to visitors and non-resident property owners. Given what we have seen, we are concerned that the restrictions are not being fully enforced and some shuttles have been operating across the sound to bring people to the off road against the orders that are in place.
We appreciate the leadership of Currituck's Board of Commissioner to put in place restrictions to limit exposure to covid-19 in this unprecedented time. We are concerned that some visitors are not taking this seriously and ask for additional help to limit the spread of the virus in our community. Our off-road community is small and is the main point of contact for anyone who may fall ill, for cleaning and maintenance on rental homes and second homes, for anyone stuck in the sand. We also know that we are not ready up for summer volume to provide safety on the beach strand or back roads. We appreciated the effort this past weekend to limit day trippers. We can not say no to helping others if they get sick or need maintenance or have other issues.
We request that the BOC enforce restrictions in the off road to stop traffic in our communities. We have seen new cars from other states in the off road in the past three days with several more driving up the beach today. We understand that travel is restricted, but we also have seen an increase in our areas.
We realize this may hurt our livelihoods in the off road--and we are the most dependent on that livelihood. We appreciate the hard calls that the county has to make and we stand behind our county and offer our support in this difficult time.

I truly never imagined that so many people felt the same way about keeping our community safe. This response is entirely down to the neighbors who took the time to speak up for our home. All of this momentum belongs to you.

I am a non resident homeowner who is following the rules. Makes me furious that there are those who are not. We are part time residents that do not rent our property. That being said, we don't want our friends there to get sick. Am I happy about not being able to use our home, of course not. But We understand the reason and if we can follow the laws so can everybody else!
Keep all non-residents from entry into our area. We can't afford for our Seniors to catch the caronavirus! Everyone please stay home.
I am seeing a trend here - people coming in from VA and mainland by boat - good example of community transfer.
The majority of the rental homes are owned by people from upstate whereas last Friday there were 8,000 confirmed cases of the virus in New York only.
Please STOP non-resident owners from coming on the beach. Those of us who are following the shelter in place Need your help.
Please keep our residents safe.
I house sit for many in the community. Protect my people please.

The decision to sign this petition was made for many reasons. We need to understand that the people coming from out town are coming to houses that do not have much if any supplies on hand. They are mostly rental houses that have been sitting empty since fall. There are many home owners that came down weeks ago and have been able to plan and isolate themselves prior to the stay at home order that has now been issued by the state. The community on this beach is made up of people that are in the at risk age range therefore vulnerable. I and many others are concerned about how this will effect our economy since it is seasonally driven but I’m confident that most value health safety over monetary gain.
