Comal County Sheriff Mark Reynolds on Tuesday confirmed five offenders tested positive for COVID-19 this week but disputed claims posted on social media on the severity of the first coronavirus cases at the new county jail. âDuring the normal (screening) checks five people tested positive â the first cases weâve had at the jail,â Reynolds said. âThey have been isolated in negative-pressure cells and quarantined away from the others. Itâs not a rampant outbreak, despite what others might be saying.â Comal has agreements with Bell, Hays and Coryell counties to house offenders at $65 per inmate per day, inside the local 582-bed lockup and has yet to board offenders held by San Antonioâs U.S. Marshalâs Service at $100 per offender per day.Â
