According to provincial data, 60 inmates at the jail, which currently has 395 inmates, are actively battling the virus as of Wednesday. Fifty-three inmates at the Toronto South Detention Centre are sick with COVID, but that jail houses around 800 inmates. The outbreak among inmates at the jail was at its highest last week, when 69 inmates had active cases of COVID-19 on Jan. 12 and 13. While the health unit was running vaccination clinics inside EMDC a few months ago, that has been taken over by the Ministry of the Solicitor General, which runs Ontario’s jails. Have you recently been released from the Elgin-Middlesex Detention Centre or do you have a loved one who is currently there?
