3 prisoners transferred to Regina Correctional Centre test positive for COVID-19

 
REGINA --
The transfer of prisoners from Saskatoon has added to the number of COVID-19 cases at the Regina Correction Centre, after three prisoners tested positive for the virus upon arrival.
Several vans with prisoners from Saskatoon arrived at the Regina Correctional Centre on the weekend.
A representative from SGEU said the inmates were transferred from a Saskatoon Police station, not from the correctional centre.
Corrections said the prisoners were not tested for the virus until they arrived in Regina. Some have since been released into the community but must self isolate in hotels.
The John Howard Society is calling for voluntary testing for guards and prisoners at all corrections facilities.
