Two inmates have tested positive for COVID-19 at a maximum-security prison in Quebec, the first confirmed cases involving prisoners in a federal institution.

The Correctional Service of Canada says that prior to the two inmates being diagnosed, nine employees who work at Port-Cartier Institution also tested positive for the virus.

As of Saturday, 50 tests were conducted on inmates in institutions, with 45 negative and two positive results and three others pending. The prison service says it is "closely and carefully following direction" from public-health officials and monitoring these inmates, while following strict protocols to avoid further spread.

Ontario health officials confirm 211 new cases of COVID-19, two more deathsOntario health officials have confirmed 211 new cases of COVID-19, including two more deaths, bringing the total number of cases in the province to 1,355. Cases rising up ! We are aware you're counting. We would like to know. Do they count how many COVID patients are out of the hospital and feeling better? Why not balance the news? So what we’re doing to stop the spread isn’t working. Perhaps it’s time for stronger measures to be invoked, like banning domestic travel How about giving us number of cases that are hopeful. Patients who recovered? People who are in quarantine would like to know. It gives us hope. We use our brain on how to deal with CORONA but please we have to use our heart for our PEOPLE.
