The Monroe County Health Department says a staff member at the Monroe County Children’s Detention Center has tested positive for COVID-19, and is now in isolation.
Dr. Michael Mendoza says the staff member was not symptomatic during their last shift at the center, and developed symptoms more than a day after working their last shift.
At this time, none of the youth housed in the facility or any of the other staff are showing signs of coronavirus infection. One staff member is under precautionary quarantine.
The center in Rush has instituted increased health screenings for the incarcerated youth and is working closely with the Department of Public Health.
