Whitlock complained that the measures has violated her constitutional rights and denied her "freedom of religion."

“The reality is that modern society has not been able to eradicate contagious viruses. A typical public health quarantine would occur in a medical facility. I have been told not to participate in public or private accommodations as requested by the government, and therefore denied my 1st amendment right of freedom of religion,” she wrote on Facebook.

The group which launched earlier this month has earned over 70,000 members.

"We stand for The Constitution," the organization wrote.

"We are mostly business owners and employees that are losing our income and denied our right to provide for our families.

"We have come together to demand action from their elected officials."

There have been about 8,000 coronavirus cases in North Carolina with 300 deaths.
