DAILY OBSERVER:<\/strong>\u00a0Eight more inmates are now COVID-19 free after they were recently retested for the deadly virus, Acting Superintendent of Prisons Jermaine Anthony revealed.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Those inmates are officially cleared to reenter the general population at Her Majesty\u2019s Prison.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

According to Anthony, there are \u201c11 inmates in our medical quarantine facility who are still positive for Covid-19. So that would bring us now where we would have had 37 cases of Covid-19 in the prison and a total of 26 recoveries so far.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The remaining 11 inmates will be retested on Thursday.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

On March 4, the first virus case at \u20181735\u2019 was confirmed after an inmate showed symptoms and was sent to the hospital for medical attention.<\/p>\n

He returned a positive test which triggered institution-wide testing on March 6 and 7.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Then, on March 13, the prison administration confirmed that 32 asymptotic inmates had tested positive and three corrections officers tested positive.<\/p>\n

Later that month, all inmates confirmed to have contracted the Covid-19 virus were then transferred to the newly retrofitted Crabb\u2019s facility.<\/p>
