 On Monday, January 25, 2021, the Ministry of Health received notification that a correctional officer at the Baudelaire Correctional Facility was diagnosed with COVID-19. The officer having access care was tested and placed in quarantine while awaiting test results. On Tuesday, January 26, 2021, public health officials conducted an assessment of the situation at the Correctional Institution, where the close contacts of the confirmed case were identified and tested for COVID-19. A total of 35 individuals were tested, which included 24 inmates and 11 correctional staff. They were all placed in quarantine whilst awaiting test results, as required by the National COVID-19 Testing Protocol. Amongst the 35 individuals tested, 8 inmates and 1 staff have since been confirmed as positive for COVID-19. Acting National Epidemiologist Dr. Dana Gomez says several measures have been taken to protect the health of staff and inmates at the facility. Complete isolation of confirmed inmates away from the general population. Quarantine and testing of close contacts of the confirmed cases. On Saturday, January 30, 2021, samples were taken from a total of 86 individuals, 79 inmates and 7 custodia staff. The Ezra Long Laboratory is currently processing these samples. Enforcement of strict infection prevention and control measures to decrease the rate of transmission of the infection. That is, isolation of any symptomatic inmates. Placing of exposed inmates into a limited number of areas whilst establishing effective barrier controls between them. Active measures for inmates who fall into high-risk categories. The use of adequate personal protective equipment by the health care staff and custodial staff will be caring and working with the quarantined and isolated individuals. Limitations of the movement and interaction of custodial staff overseeing areas with inmates. The strict adherence to hand hygiene measures. Good use of face masks by staff and inmates. The frequent cleaning of high-touch objects and surfaces. The testing and quarantine of all symptomatic custodial staff. The Ministry of Health continues to monitor the situation at the Bodily Correctional Facility and provide the necessary support to management.
