Wake County has confirmed an outbreak of COVID-19 in Raleigh at Sunrise at North Hills and Abbotswood at Stonehenge, two assisted living communities for older adults.

Our Public Health team has received test results showing positive cases of the virus in staff and residents at the two facilities, at 615 Spring Forest Road and 7900 Creedmoor Road, respectively. No additional information about residents or employees within the facilities 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.

The county recommends that, in addition to adhering to the state’s order preventing outside visitation, facilities follow its guidelines, which include:

• Ensuring staff wear the appropriate personal protective equipment at all times;
• Restricting employees from working at other locations;
• Practicing social distancing when possible; and
• Frequently cleaning surfaces with disinfectant.
