CoreCivic has received the results from the most recent inmate and staff saturation testing at Crossroads Correctional Center (CCC) in Shelby, MT. Staff testing included both employees and contractors.
"The health and safety of the individuals entrusted to our care and our staff is the top priority for CoreCivic," said Keith Ivens, M.D., CoreCivic's Chief Medical Officer. "This commitment is shared by our government partners, the Montana Department of Corrections (MTDOC) and U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), as well as the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) and the Toole County Health Department. We have worked closely together with them to respond to this unprecedented situation appropriately, thoroughly and with care for the well-being of those entrusted to us and our communities."
The results of this mass testing will help inform additional decisions and the efforts currently underway to cohort and quarantine those individuals who are positive or might have been exposed to the virus.
