Greensboro Rehab Center Temporarily Closes Due To Positive COVID-19 Tests

A residential alcohol and drug treatment center in Greensboro is temporarily shutting down after three clients tested positive for COVID-19. 

A treatment manager at Malachi House II  says the three men were asymptomatic before they received positive findings. Willie Wooten tells the News & Record that the program's other participants have been moved off-campus, and all are being tested.

Wooten says the faith-based nonprofit has been hit hard by the coronavirus, with lost revenue and an unknown timetable for reopening.

Malachi House II has been added to the state's list of congregate living facilities experiencing coronavirus outbreaks. That list also includes two Guilford County nursing homes and a strawberry farm that hosts on-site housing.

An “ongoing outbreak” at a group-living facility is defined as two or more confirmed positive test results for COVID-19.
