“We’ve all been tested and all of us have clean bills of health as of a week and a half ago,” he said, “the guys who were found positive, they shipped those two guys out and two of their friends, because they hung out with them so much they decided to go too.”
He says those men were moved into isolation. The others are no longer being allowed out for recreation and he feels the gym is the safest place to be right now.
“North Block, West Block, South Block, all of the buildings have COVID in there.” he said.
Some family members of the men in those blocks say they don’t know if their loved ones are sick because they haven’t been getting phone calls. More than 100 staff members have also tested positive. All employees at adult institutions in California are now required to get tested.
