Two Hamilton County deputies test postive for COVID-19

CINCINNATI (WKRC) - Two Hamilton County deputies have tested positive for COVID-19. Both of them work at the Hamilton County Justice Center.

A sheriff's spokesman said everyone who is arrested and taken to the jail is screened. They are also quarantined for seven days.

Those inmates who say they've been exposed to the coronavirus or show any symptoms are put in isolation.

The spokesman said they have eight inmates in isolation as of April 20 but no confirmed cases. The sheriff's office does have a company to test inmates.
