As a result of contact with a previously reported COVID-19 positive inmate, 66 inmates in one area of the jail were tested for COVID-19. The group was exposed to the inmate on or before Monday August 24, 2020. Of the 66 inmates tested, 21 resulted in being positive for COVID-19.
Two inmates from the group are symptomatic and have been moved to negative airflow cells. The remaining positive inmates, who are asymptomatic, are being housed together in a contained area of the jail and are being monitored by custody and medical staff regularly.
The 45 inmates who tested negative for Covid-19 will be re-tested in about one week’s time.
