Jail reports inmate case of COVID-19
ELLSWORTH While many of Maine’s county jails have been dealing with COVID19 outbreaks for months now, Hancock County just had its first COVID-19-positive inmate this week.
The inmate was released on bail after a couple of days, according to Hancock County Sheriff Scott Kane. That was on Monday.
“He was arrested for a domestic and we knew when he came in that he had tested positive,” Kane said. The inmate is related to someone at the Island Nursing Home in Deer Isle, which has been dealing with an outbreak since Thanksgiving week.
