The Nightingale rehabilitation facility at Whiteabbey Hospital is being stood down for Covid patients, the Northern Trust has confirmed.
The 100-bed facility opened last November as a step down hospital for people well enough to leave acute hospital but not ready to return home.
It is understood 145 Covid patients were treated there.
The trust has said it will now become a regional non-Covid enhanced rehabilitation unit.
Each patient treated at the hospital spent about two-weeks receiving intensive rehabilitation.
