An outbreak is defined as two or more cases in <br />a congregant living setting. Outbreaks are considered over four weeks after the last <br />person with COVID-19 linked to the outbreak either tested positive or had symptoms <br />develop. <br />Around the Triangle, there are ongoing outbreaks at the Johnston County jail, where <br />18 inmates and five staff members have tested positive for COVID-19, as well as the <br />Wake County jail, where 39 inmates and a staff member have tested positive. <br />DHHS also identified multiple outbreaks in Triangle nursing homes and long-term <br />care facilities. There are a dozen ongoing outbreaks at facilities in Durham, three at <br />facilities in Orange County and six at Wake County facilities. <br />The DHHS report does not include an outbreak at Garner’s The Laurels of Forest <br />Glen that was reported Wednesday by Wake County. The outbreak is the second at <br />The Laurels of Forest Glen, which, according to Wake County, means the facility <br />must increase its restrictions, including not having visitors for four weeks. <br />Source: N&O analysis of NC DHHS data • Get the data <br />NC CORONAVIRUS CASES AND TESTINGNC CORONAVIRUS CASES AND TESTING <br />The chart below shows confirmed cases, completed tests and percent positive rates for the last 14 days.
