A new CDC report finds that as of November 2020, nearly 400 outbreak-related COVID-19 cases were identified among incarcerated people at five Idaho correctional facilities with work-release programs. Two
outbreaks were linked to work at food processing plants. Correctional and detention facilities with work-release programs should consider strategies to reduce COVID-19 spread, including mass testing and working with local public health officials to identify high-risk worksites. Incarcerated people participating in work release should be included in COVID-19 vaccination plans. Learn more: http://bit.ly/mm7016a3.
