Wake County Identifies COVID-19 Outbreaks at Two Facilities in Raleigh

Wake County Public Health has confirmed outbreaks of COVID-19 at the following facilities:

  • Wake Assisted Living Memory Care at 2800 Kidd Road in Raleigh. This is the facility’s third outbreak. The previous outbreaks occurred in July 2020 and August 2021.
  • UNC Rex Rehabilitation Center located at 4210 Lake Boone Trail in Raleigh. This is the facility’s fifth outbreak. The previous outbreaks occurred in June 2020, November 2020, May 2021 and September 2021.
     

No additional information about residents or employees within the facility will be disclosed.

The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services defines an outbreak as two or more people – residents or employees – testing positive for the virus. Because of the possibility for rapid spread of COVID-19 in long-term settings, NCDHHS shares guidance on the steps these facilities should take following an outbreak.
