NC COVID Surge Hits New High | Durham News

North Carolina’s COVID-19 cases are surging to record highs, fueled by social gatherings, back-to-school routines, and travel — proof that human connection can also mean viral spread. While federal free shots are off the table, most private insurers still cover new vaccines at little or no cost, and pharmacies like CVS and Walgreens have them stocked. Uninsured folks may still find help: some counties, including Wake County, offer free vaccines for all ages, though others charge $250–$380 for adults without coverage. Stay safe: if you’re sick, isolate until fever-free for 24 hours, then take precautions for five more days — and if symptoms return, go back into isolation. As flu and RSV loom in cooler months, keep washing hands, avoiding sick people, and disinfecting surfaces. Stay sharp.
