KXLY December 23, 2020 3:53 PM Emily Oliver AIRWAY HEIGHTS, Wash. A COVID-19 outbreak continues to grow at the Airway Heights Corrections Center, where a total of 1,307 inmates have now tested positive for the virus.  Additionally, 155 staff have tested positive for COVID-19. The outbreak is by far the largest at any corrections facility in the state of Washington.  Just last week, the Department of Corrections confirmed the first inmate at the prison died from the virus while being treated at a separate healthcare facility. Family members of inmates have reached out to 4 News Now in recent weeks, worried about the treatment of their loved ones who had tested positive.
