There are no Covid-19 cases among the detainees at Ain Sebaa I local prison, the General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration (DGAPR) has said, noting that allegations on the presence of Covid-19 cases in that prison are “baseless”.
Following allegations spread by some newspapers and electronic websites about Covid-19 cases among inmates at the said prison, the DGAPR indicates that it is permanently monitoring strict compliance with the precautionary measures by the various penitentiary establishments to curb the spread of the virus at these facilities.
Regarding Covid-19 cases recorded among officials, the General Delegation underlines that they were contracted outside penitentiary establishments following family and social movements of these officials.
According to the same source, once an official or one of his contacts has tested positive to the novel coronavirus, the prison administration decides to isolate the concerned person far from the workplace and notifies the competent administrative and health authorities to take the necessary health measures.
