The jail has tried to prevent the coronavirus from infecting people at the facility since March by reducing the overall jail population size, increasing social distancing between inmates and stopping as many court transports outside of the jail. In order to stop the spread after the confirmed positive, the jail has initiated a 14-day quarantine of all new inmates booked into the jail. The Sheriff's Office also plans to test all detention employees and other deputies who had regular business inside the jail. The jail began testing staff Tuesday and said it will not stop "until everyone assigned or regularly enters the facility has been tested," according to a jail release.
