The N.C. Department of Transportation’s Ferry System has announced a new schedule for all routes starting Friday as part of the state’s response COVID-19 outbreak.
The new schedules will allow for deeper cleaning of ferry vessels, while also adapting to lower demand for ferry travel as schools are closed and people remain at home during the outbreak, said division spokesperson Tim Hass.
Visitors are not allowed on Ocracoke-bound ferries, due to the emergency declaration issued Wednesday by Hyde County.
