The NC Atty. General ought to school the County on “state of emergency” vs. “martial law”. The local powers granted counties under NC §166A-19.22. (Municipal or county declaration of state of emergency) do not include the action that news story explained.
Trump hasn’t invoked Stafford Act, NC Governor hasn’t enacted martial law, so Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1 of the US Constitution is still intact. (Freedom of movement guaranteed in the Privileges and Immunities Clause)

Small counties in the southern US like to do this whenever there is a public safety concern.
Next they will go dry, curfews...etc. I think they think they can get more federal funds the more they can show they had to take measures to protect their citizens....
