Sonora, CA…Our previously reported 7 positive cases within the jail have all recovered and since been rehoused with their respective cohorts. This morning, we were made aware of 2 positive cases. The two inmates have been placed in quarantine. All close contacts have tested negative but have been placed in isolation under the direction of public health. We will closely monitor and continue regular testing, while working closely with Tuolumne County Public Health to conduct all track and tracing.

All COVID-19 protocols remain in place to reduce further exposure to everyone within our facility and community. Anyone with concerns related to COVID-19 protocols being taken is encouraged to contact Public Information Officer Nicco Sandelin at (209)533-5857.

If you are a family member requesting contact with an inmate, contact Sergeant Chris Hurtado at (209)533-7201 and he will facilitate connecting you. Please know inmate communication is optional and our staff will not mandate an inmate to respond to your request.
