Nearly 7,000 residents in North Carolina were told via text message last week that they tested positive for the Coronavirus despite not actually having contracted the disease.
“More than 6,700 individuals in Mecklenburg County in North Carolina were told in a text message sent from Mecklenburg County Health Department on Friday that they tested positive for COVID-19 and over 500 people were told through a county email that they were also infected with the novel coronavirus. But the results were incorrect due to a technical error by Health Space, the company they use for contact tracing, according to a statement on the county’s website,” reports Fox News.

Starting this week, North Carolina teachers and other school staff members can get COVID-19 vaccines.
North Carolina teachers and other school personnel are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine, regardless of age, starting Wednesday. Iredell-Statesville Schools and Gaston County Schools are offering mass vaccine events for employees on opening day.
Both districts have held in-person classes since August, even as other districts in the region relied on remote instruction for part of the school year.
Boen Nutting, communications director for Iredell-Statesville Schools, says that’s one reason her district wanted to make sure employees had a chance to be vaccinated quickly.
