The medium-security Allenwood prison is fourth on the Bureau of Prisons list of coronavirus cases.
It has not yet been determined whether the Oct. 21 death of Tori Smith at the medium-security prison and Jan. 29 passing of Gregory J. Ziglar at the nearby Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary were related to COVID-19, a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson said.
President Biden on Sept. 9 signed an executive order mandating vaccinations for all Justice Department employees. Those granted religious or medical exemptions are required to be tested.“The BOP regularly tests for COVID-19 but does not routinely test for the actual strain or variant as it does not affect how we manage the pandemic, nor does it affect the individual management of the inmate,” a spokesman said.
“Consistent with CDC guidance, all inmates who test positive for COVID-19 are treated equally regardless of variant. " All BOP facilities have areas reserved to quarantine inmates who test positive, he said. Without disclosing specifics about the Allenwood complex, he said inmates are transferred to hospitals as medical conditions warrant.
