He also said the pandemic unmasked significant health disparities in the LatinX and Black communities and believes telehealth is here to stay for the long term; although it can never replace the intimate visit with a patient.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Returning to normal will be us being able to interact with patients and their families face-to-face: that will be the sign for me that we&#8217;ve crossed a barrier to get back to more normalcy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/abc11.com\/covid-19-reflections-one-year-later-from-doctors-patients\/10404436\/\">Watch the news story<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One year has passed since Governor Cooper declared a state of emergency for North Carolina due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and hospitals and health systems across the state had to pivot to take care of their patients.
