Growing Concerns Over City Jails Handling Of The Pandemic’s Second Wave arrow A security fence at Rikers Island in October 2017. Bebeto Matthews/AP/Shutterstock With New York City’s COVID-19 positivity rate now at more than 9 percent, there are growing concerns about how to protect those incarcerated in city jails and the staffers who work among them. On Tuesday, the city’s Correctional Health Services reported there were 48 patients with active infections out of a total of just over 5,000 detainees. More than a hundred staffers have been infected since late November. These numbers are nowhere near last spring’s surge, when hundreds of inmates and more than 1,400 staffers were sickened; about a dozen people from both groups, combined, died of COVID-19.
