WILMINGTON, N.C. (WECT) - A few weeks ago, Tabor Correctional had hundreds of active cases of the virus, at one point having the most in the state, but that number has since dropped to just four active cases.
According to DPS, 548 people have recovered from the virus in the correctional institution.
Chief medical officer for the NC Division of Prisons Dr. Arthur Campbell says the past several months have been a struggle, with Tabor Correctional seeing record case numbers and even two inmate deaths in the facility, but the work continues to implement protective protocols and stop the spread of the virus.
