An inmate at the Stratford Jail has tested positive for COVID-19.
A spokesperson for the Ministry of the Solicitor General confirmed the news to MyStratfordNow.com.
They say the inmate recently transferred to Stratford from another correctional facility but, due to confidentiality, they couldn’t say from where.
The spokesperson says any inmate that tests positive for COVID-19 is placed under droplet precautions and isolated from the rest of the inmates while they receive the appropriate medical care.
They add the ministry is working with local public health authorities to complete contact tracing.
