At least 17 inmates at the Hudson County jail recently tested positive for the coronavirus, according to an email a jail official wrote on Christmas Eve to colleagues.
Eight of those cases were apparently newly reported on Christmas Eve. Each of the 17 are “showing no complications,” the jail’s Deputy Director Michael Conrad wrote in the email.
Sixteen of the individuals who tested positive are county inmates and one is a federal inmate, the email says. Each is being housed in isolation as are inmates who they came into direct contact with.
