The findings are based on data from 37 state and territorial health departments. The CDC reached out to 54 jurisdictions, but about 30% did not provide requested information on jails and prisons. The report called for regular screening of staff members and those who enter jails and prisons. But researchers noted that infected people can show no symptoms, suggesting “symptom screening alone is inadequate to promptly identify and isolate infected persons in congregate settings such as correctional and detention facilities.”
