The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says two detention facility employees have tested positive for COVID-19. This comes after over a dozen inmates tested positive for the virus over the weekend.
At least 20 inmates had positive test results on Sunday, according to JSO.
JSO says contact tracing testing will begin Monday to determine when the impacted individuals were infected and who they were in contact with.
JSO said in a news release that the first inmate in a Department of Corrections facility tested positive on Friday. That same day, both inmates and employees were exposed to a contract employee who had also tested positive for the virus. Also on Friday, JSO said another incident happened in which two inmates tested positive.
JSO said most of the inmates who tested positive are asymptomatic and that the worst reported and confirmed symptoms have been a fever and body aches.
