OTAY MESA
At least 46 San Diego County jail inmates have tested positive for COVID-19 in an outbreak at the George Bailey Detention Facility in Otay Mesa, sheriff’s officials said Tuesday.
The outbreak surfaced Feb. 27 after a man, who was first booked into the San Diego Central Jail on Feb. 15, fell ill with what was later determined to be COVID-19, according to a statement from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.
Before falling ill and showing symptoms, the man was held in quarantine for the first seven days of his confinement at the downtown jail and then transferred to George Bailey in Otay Mesa “where he was housed in dormitory housing appropriate for his classification level,” according to the Sheriff’s Department news release.

Sheriff’s officials deny the claim.
Department officials did not count Armendo among the county’s in-custody deaths because a court order released him from custody while hospitalized, even though he never left the hospital after being taken there from the Vista jail.
Armendo was sentenced to 32 months in state prison two weeks before he was found unconscious June 29 at the jail. Court records show he was officially released from custody on July 6, a week after he was hospitalized, at the recommendation of the District Attorney’s Office.
“In light of Mr. Armendo’s medical condition, including his positive Covid diagnosis along with the Covid-19 pandemic, the people recommend that the defendant’s sentence should be recalled,” the court order said.
