IDOC TO INMATE EMAIL (RECEIVED 6/24/22)
FROM: Christine Starr Chief of Staff
DATE: 06/23/2022Hello IDOC Residents,
Ada County is now at a HIGH LEVEL for COVID community transmission, as such, effective (6/23/22) at 6:00 a.m., masks are required in the following facilities: ISCC, SBWCC, IMSI, ISCI, SICI, TV CRC, and EB CRC. I know this is not welcome news, but please know that with the consent of our State Epidemiologists, we will revise the mask requirement as quickly as it is safe to do so.
Additionally, the following restrictions are now in place:
Visitation for the facilities identified above is suspended until further notice
Testing remains required for:
> Symptomatic staff and residents
> RDU
> Moving an individual from their cohort or from one facility to another
> Releasing an individual into the community
Classes and treatment may still occur within cohorts, as long as there is proper spacing and masks are being worn by all participants
The quarantine/isolation protocols for crisis staffing remain in place
Follow-up testing for positive resident cases will occur on tiers/units
Thank you for your help with this. We hope that we will be through this wave of COVID quickly. In the meantime, if you haven't taken advantage of the opportunity to get a vaccination, please do so. The vaccines are still working well to prevent serious illness or death. We appreciate your assistance as we try to protect the health of our residents and staff.
