A prisoner has tested positive for coronavirus in Los Angeles County. Five state prison workers also have tested positive for COVID-19.

The prisoner is at California State Prison, Los Angeles County, state corrections officials announced on Sunday night.

In a joint statement, the department and the state’s prison health care agency said they “remain agile in response to any potential case of COVID-19 ... with the top priority being the safety and protection of staff, the population, volunteers, visitors and surrounding communities.” “It is very unnerving,” she told The Times, insisting on anonymity. “There is so much close interaction with staff and inmates.”

CO’s are coming in and not saying nothing and they are spreading it to the inmates 🤦🏽‍♂️

How was he exposed? Is this airborne?
