This virus has no cure. What we do on the outside to stay safe are impossible to practice in prisons
• Avoid large events and mass gatherings
• Keep distance between yourself and others about 6 feet
• Wash your hands with soap and hot water for at least 20 seconds, or use hand sanitizer
• Clean and disinfect surfaces you often touch on a daily basis
Yes, they matter too. Prison guards and inmates are being infected and dying. This is a community problem and we need to act fast to save lives. If there is a will there is a way.
