As we continue in our efforts to manage and contain the spread of COVID-19 within the walls of the nation's prisons, we highlight the Eastern Correctional Rehabilitation Centre which is being utilized as our official quarantine center.
All new committals into the system, court returnees and charges who may display any symptoms consistent with the virus are housed in separate quarters with all protocols being observed and practiced.
As we attempt to take COVID-19 out of the prisons, efforts are presently underway to establish and outfit a remote facility to specifically deal with charges who have tested positive for the virus.
We continue to work under the guidelines of the Ministry of Health specific to our unique environment, without compromising security and public safety.
