JAIL COVID UPDATE: The case numbers from the weekend are not yet available online but I understand that there is now an outbreak at Vanier Centre for Women, with 9 inmate cases. Meanwhile, Maplehurst has had 116 inmate cases (including 1 who works in the kitchen), 62 staff cases
According to a memo, the union is concerned about the Maplehurst cases being linked to continued audio/video court appearances. They want those to be stopped for 14 days, or at least stopped for inmates who are positive. (I can imagine the response to this).
Outbreak at the Central East Correctional Centre in Lindsay per the local public health unit today. Heard from a source that it's three or four people in a segregation unit.
LATEST JAIL COVID UPDATE: As of Jan 31, the most recent day available, there are 11 jails with inmates who have COVID. Maplehurst is at 106, Thunder Bay CC is at 45, Thunder Bay jail is at 22. Toronto South Detention Centre is at 30 (may be linked to the transfers from TB jail).
Elgin-Middlesex Detention Centre at 19, Vanier Centre for Women at 12, Ottawa at 5, Central North at 3, Central East at 2. One case each at Sarnia and Toronto East.
