MONROE — Nearly 60 people imprisoned at the Monroe Correctional Complex were in medical isolation this week due to a COVID-19 outbreak in a medium-security unit of the state prison.

The entirety of the Twin Rivers Unit is now under quarantine. Visitation is halted until the quarantine ends, corrections officials said.

One incarcerated person and one employee tested positive for the virus Monday.

Subsequently, all those housed in Unit A of the facility were tested for COVID-19 and results for 33 people came back positive, according to a memo issued Wednesday.
