About 10 per cent of the population of Arbour Hill prison has tested positive for Covid-19, the largest single outbreak in the prison system since the start of the pandemic.
Since March 2020, a total of 83 prisoners across the prison estate have contracted the virus. Irish prisons managed to keep the virus out of facilities until August 2020. Since then, there have been periodic outbreaks across the country’s prisons, despite strict internal quarantine and additional lockdown measures.
Some of these inmates are in their 70s and 80s and many have underlying conditions which may make them more vulnerable to the virus. All staff and prisoners in Arbour Hill are to be tested again this week “as a precaution” the IPS said in a statement.
There’s one place Covid could have a positive impact, obviously staff excluded!!
😂😂 hardly a pandemic... it’s 10 people with a sniffle..
We cannot go back to normal. This shows how contagious the virus is. And there are always new variants emerging that aren't covered by the vaccine. Unfortunately, permanent lockdowns are the only solution. We can never achieve a Covid-free society without it. Lockdown4ever
Fuck them. Hanging is most of those cunts need. Pedophilia is Not acceptable Crime
Vaccinate the Staff and inmates.
We can't keep it out of a prison but zerocovid fans would have you believe we can keep it out of a country 🤔
