New York City Eyes Measures to Stop Virus Spread to Jails

New York City correctional officials said Tuesday they were preparing measures to stop the coronavirus from infecting staff and prisoners at jails that experts said could become incubators for the rapidly-spreading disease.

The Department of Correction is focused on keeping its jail cells and shared space clean, screening visitors for symptoms, raising awareness with posters about avoiding the disease and encouraging inmates to keep a physical distance from each other, officials said.

Seems legit.

Or great isolation centers.

Sad but true

The worse virus of the world is fake news with gossip. Stop spread false information and panic .

We didn’t need an expert to see that coming.

And your point?

Shouldn't the jail be the safest place from the Coronavirus as it's isolated ?

survivalistinfo put hibiclens in the sprinkler systems and run a test, solved.

Not if they don’t escape!!

So will the infected victims be locked behind bars? 🤔Concentrationcamp

I’m way more concerned about the homeless living on the streets in California.

How about homeless compounds that have zero hygiene?

Rapidly spreading

Utrippenalready This Administration should be forced to visit the jails now and see if they can help.

LOCKDOWN.

How? Arent they letting folks out as fast as they get put in?

so just like the prisons in China from 3-4 weeks ago? Don't have to be an expert to follow past precedent

Bad news for Trump cronies.

Too damn bad; DON'T LET THEM OUT!!! Then we'd have TWO very dangerous issues; them and C19! Reuters abcnews SBSNews smh

Marshall Law in NY?

Good. Keep them there.

Wow Einstein shocking development

We don't have evidence that this virus spreads faster then any other. Stop spreading false information and fanning panic.

It's almost like the massive amount of people we have incarcerated in all those for-profit prisons isn't such a smart idea... hmmmm

Who cares

Why don’t so-called experts shut the h..l up with useless speculation?

Meaning they gotta test the staff every day they come to work lol don't the visitors gotta talk through the glass? Lol ijs I don't know, I never visited anyone in jail before lol.

Only if we had a place to quarantine those inmates infected with the coronavirus.. oh wait!

Experts say a lotta... ummm... stuff these days. If you cant quarantine a jail - we are all screwed.

And....... how would they have contracted it?

IDK if I woke up and everyone is stupid or what but no fucking shit
