Coronavirus disease 2019 has swept through prisons in much the same way it has nursing homes: after being introduced by staff or newly arrived residents, it spreads efficiently, including to many with medical vulnerabilities. Yet, many correctional workers lack basic protections. The authors believe that ensuring community-standard occupational health for correctional staff during COVID-19 will protect prison residents, staff, and their communities.
2019 年冠状病毒病在监狱中的传播方式与疗养院大致相同:它先是由工作人员或新来的居民引入,然后高效传播,包括传播给许多有医疗脆弱性的人。然而,许多监狱工作人员缺乏基本的保护措施。作者认为,在 COVID-19 期间确保监狱工作人员享有社区标准的职业健康将保护监狱居民、工作人员及其社区。
