Fi <br /> North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper announces that a skilled nursing facility in Orange County near Chapel <br /> Hill, N.C. has become a "hotspot" for coronavirus cases with several hospitalized and two deaths reported. <br /> BY WUNC-TV <br /> DAUGHTER WAITS FOR TEST RESULTS <br /> Durham resident Teala Spitzbarth learned from the news that someone at her father's nursing <br /> home had tested positive for the coronavirus . <br /> She worried about never being able to see him again, she said Thursday. <br /> " Then I had to make a decision. I am just going to pray," Spitzbarth said. " I am just staying in touch <br /> with family and friends, and we are trying to help." <br /> Her father, 79, has been at PruittHealth-Carolina Point since September, said Spitzbarth, 56. He <br /> has been tested for the virus, but she doesn't know the result yet. <br /> She and her 15-year-old son, Josiah Moore, started making face masks as part of a local church <br /> team and recently delivered i5o masks to Carolina Point. <br /> She doesn't have any concerns about how PruittHealth has handled the situation or with how staff' <br /> has communicated with her, she said. She sensed that the numbers had jumped significantly when <br /> her father was moved to different rooms, away from where residents who had tested positive were <br /> being housed. <br /> "I feel like they are doing the best that they can do," she said. <br /> t Allowroo <br /> b <br /> Under10 <br /> 10 to 24 <br /> 25 <br /> S t 49 <br /> S(1� to 99 <br />
