HOW does a COVID-19 INMATE TEST POSITIVE AND THEY ARE IN A SAME AREA WITH NEGATIVE TESTER. How are they quarantining properly when you have many scare to catch it and not be done correctly. YOU CAN NOT PUT AND MIX POSITIVE COVID-19 WITH NEGATIVE FOR THEM TO CATCH IT AS WELL THAT IS WHY THE SPREAD IS ON THE RISE AT THE JAIL BECAUSE YOU ALL ARE MIXING EACH OTHER UP AND NOT GIVING PROPER QUARINTINE AND ISOLATION ON THE ISSUES.

How to prepare your facility for the possible spread of COVID-19
Because of close contact and the number of people in correctional and detention facilities (including prisons and jails), staff and people who are incarcerated are at greater risk for the spread of germs. To help your facility prepare for the possible spread of COVID-19, update your emergency operations plan. This includes:
Adding key COVID-19 prevention strategies and posting information in the facility on how to limit the spread of germs.
Reminding staff to stay home when sick.
Identifying points of contact for local public health agencies.
Identifying physical locations (dedicated housing areas and bathrooms) where you can medically isolate incarcerated persons, as well as where to quarantine known close contacts of people with COVID-19.
Follow guidance on medical isolation and quarantine.
Medical isolation and quarantine locations should be separate.
Offering flu shots to staff and people who are incarcerated, because limiting cases of flu can help speed the identification of people with COVID-19.
Developing ways to continue providing critical services, such as mental health support.
Ensuring adequate stocks of hygiene, cleaning, and medical supplies.
Hygiene: Soap (preferably liquid to promote use), tissues, and hand drying supplies, as well as hand sanitizers, when possible. Ensure no-cost access to soap.
Cleaning: EPA-registered disinfectantsexternal icon effective against the virus that causes COVID-19
Medical supplies: Supplies for daily clinic needs, personal protective equipment (PPE), and testing
Creating and testing communications plans to share critical information.
Setting up systems to safely transfer people between facilities and identifying alternative strategies to in-person court appearances, when possible.
Prevent confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases and their close contacts from being transferred between jurisdictions and facilities unless necessary for medical evaluation, medical isolation/quarantine, clinical care, extenuating security concerns, or to prevent overcrowding.
Planning for staff absenteeism.
Follow CDC guidance on recommended PPE for staff who will have direct contact with an individual with possible COVID-19 infection, or infectious materials. Make contingency plans for the likely event of PPE shortages.
Follow the CDC Interim Clinical Guidance for Management of Patients with Confirmed Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and monitor the guidance website regularly for updates for staff evaluating and providing care for confirmed or suspected COVID-19 cases. When no on-site healthcare capacity is available, make a plan for how to ensure that people suspected to have COVID-19 will be medically isolated, evaluated, tested (if indicated), and provided medical care. Contact and collaborate with your state, local, tribal and territorial health departments for more specific guidance.

PRAYERS TO THE INMATES

Hello and Good Morning... I have some concerns about Va. Beach City Jail.. How they can take a recovered Covid-19 Inmate and place them with other inmates in the facility that is refusing to be tested and can be positive with the virus and if someone catches it again will not be good especially if a Chronic Medical condition..... Why they should all be tested and no one should be refusing to take this test when the entire jail is spreading rapidly with the virus. And then they are mixing inmates with others.. HOW ARE YOU ALL MIXING INMATES THAT WAS COVID-19 NOW NEGATIVE WITH INMATES REFUSING TO TAKE THE TEST AND THEY CAN BE POSITIVE..... PLEASE PLEASE INVESTIGATE .. .THEY ARE MIXING INMATES WITH EACH OTHER SOME ARE REFUSING TO BE TESTED....

Some friends and I will be riding in this event next Saturday, 7/11/20, to show our support for law enforcement. Many police officers and sheriff deputies will be participating. All riders are welcome, either on bikes or in cars. The ride ends at the American Legion in Edenton, NC and lunch will be available.
If you see us, please show respect by waving, saluting or blowing your car horns in support.
As a Virginia Beach resident, I would love to see our local Police and Sheriff Departments hold a similar ride. I know you would get a lot of participants and supporters.
Why is the city letting the people who are being quarantined having all of their privileges being revoked? These induvial are being punished as if they were disobedient or violent in the jails. They are quarantined, not on administration restriction! Not allowed access to books, only receiving the tablet every few hours for a few minutes. They do not have any books or word search exta. To keep their minds busy. Just a blank wall. There are many studies that show how damaging solitary isolation is to ones mental health.
What is the city going to do when someone kills themselves? why not ratify this before it becomes a problem? There is ways to keep people quarantined without putting their mental heath at risk.

The rate of su***de in jails is already highly above the national average, in some states over 50% higher then the national average. This is a problem that can be fixed easily and without anyone life to be the reason of change!
