HARRISBURG, N.C. — A Harrisburg nursing home has requested visitors not visit because of a contagious disease.
Channel 9 went by the Oaks at Town Center on Roberta Road and saw a sign warning visitors not to come in.
It said the facility is under quarantine because of a "highly contagious infection."
Family members of two patients told Channel 9 the infection is scabies.
Channel 9 went inside the nursing home and made several phone call, but so far, officials with the home will not confirm the disease is scabies.
Scabies is a contagious skin disease spread by skin-to-skin contact or through clothes and bedding.
