RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — Wake County health officials said Sunday that some who attended a Lego convention in Raleigh last weekend were possibly exposed to COVID-19.
Officials revealed Sunday that a Wake County resident who attended the BrickUniverse Lego Fan Convention at the Raleigh Convention Center on March 8 has tested positive for COVID-19.
The person did have symptoms while at the convention, officials said.
The sick person was apparently at the convention between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. last Sunday.
“Because the crowd was so large and so mobile, we have no way to identify who came in close contact with this person during the Lego convention,” Dr. Jose Cabanas, the county’s EMS Director/Medical Director, said in a news release.
The Wake County Public Health Division asks anyone who was at the event from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on March 8 to call the COVID-19 information line at 919-856-7044...
