Virginia officials say staff members at privately owned facility in Farmville have not been tested, prompting worries of spreading infections.
In a July 22 letter sent to the president, Northam requested that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention intervene at Farmville, particularly with what his office says has been a lack of testing among the facility’s staff members, who can potentially spread the virus to other parts of the state where they live.
The outbreak “presents a clear risk to individuals within the facility, but also endangers the broader community as facility staff and released detainees have interaction with the general public,” Sen. Tim Kaine and Sen. Mark R. Warner wrote in a joint statement. The state made the same offer a few days ago, the official said, but was rebuffed. The official did not know why the facility canceled or declined the testing.
The majority of those housed at the Farmville facility who tested positive earlier this month were asymptomatic, and all of them received “appropriate medical care,” ICE said in its statement, without describing what type of treatment was administered.“Detainees who tested negative will be retested and are being held separately from positive detainees,” the agency said.
“I believe that if the facility keeps being run in this way — no air conditioning, dust everywhere, dirty air, terrible food that we cannot eat, not being allowed doctor visits, not being given any medicine — I will not get better,” he said.
