McHenry County Jail Finds Three with Coronavirus

From the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department:

Inmates Test Positive for Covid-19

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office had three inmates test positive for COVID-19 on January 28, 2021.

The control room for the Federal floor of the McHenry County Jail.

The Corrections Division is currently working with the McHenry County Department of Health, and are following all CDC recommendations.

The Sheriff’s Office policies for communicable and airborne diseases have been put into place to mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

The COVID-19 positive inmates, and those who may have come into contact with them, are currently on quarantine protocol.

Out of an abundance of caution, three sections of housing units where the COVID-19 positive inmates were housed are also on precautionary quarantine protocol, and contact tracing is being conducted.

The Corrections Division has several mitigation protocols in effect to prevent this virus from spreading further into the jail’s population of roughly 300 inmates.

This protocol includes

  • testing of inmates with COVID-19 like symptoms,
  • increased cleaning of jail pods,
  • mandatory quarantine periods for new inmates who enter without a negative COVID-19 test,
  • the elimination of congregate dining, and
  • the use of personal protective equipment by staff and inmates.

The Sheriff’s Office will continue to follow all COVID-19 protocols to ensure that our inmate’s and employee’s wellbeing is our top priority.

All inmates and Corrections Officers are being given the opportunity to be vaccinated, it is on a voluntary basis.

  1. Hope it isnt the ICE inmates that Biden wants released. b

    tw, who’s checking for Covid on the thousands upon thousands of illegals Joe has invited from Central America to the U.S?

    Do people really like Joe’s policies these first two weeks?

    I hear rumblings of buyers remorse with this nut.

  2. II Thessalonians 2:11-12 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

  3. They are giving it to each other in an effort to get out.

    Don’t fall for it, lock them up in solitary for 10 days per the CDC, they will be fine.

  4. Jailbirds come before law abiding proles.

    Kimmie “Kiss me Kate” Foxx said so.

  5. I bet I can find 75 illegal aliens there.

    And dozens with diseases other than Covid.

  6. When Population Reduction advocates like Bill Gates’ are so determined to vaccinate all, one should wonder what’s in these vaccines.

    Gates’ Dream Vaccine is likely one with engineered side effects that reduce human lifespans and lower human fertility.

  7. I thought Prim would change the culture of corruption of his predecessors. Still waiting.
