Staff who have been exposed to a COVID-19-positive colleague have been sent home for 14 days of quarantine. Offenders in each facility are monitored for symptoms. If symptoms appear, symptomatic offenders and their cell mates are isolated, separately, pending test results.
When a staff member tests positive for COVID-19, the results are shared with people in the affected locations first, and then all staff are notified.
