Three active COVID cases connected to the Prince Albert Correctional Centre
According to a statement Thursday from the Ministry of Corrections, Policing and Public Safety, corrections staff are working closely with public health authorities to reduce the likelihood of further spread of the virus at the Prince Albert Correctional Centre.
This comes following news of three active cases connected to the men’s jail – one staff member and two inmates.
When the ministry provided an update last week, no inmates had been infected. Corrections are now working with public health authorities to conduct testing and contact tracing.
“Corrections has taken strict measures, in consultation with public health officials, to protect both staff and offenders,” the statement from the ministry explained.
