Five additional personnel at the county jail are on quarantine, according to county spokeswoman Erin Roberts.
The facility has been under lockdown since 2:30 p.m. Monday.
It’s unclear when the inmates and staff first tested positive: Schenectady County Sheriff Dominic Dagostino didn’t return requests for comment, but a news release issued Tuesday morning said the positives are the first at the Veeder Avenue facility since the onset of the pandemic.
The county Sheriff’s Office is working with the state Commission of Corrections, the county Health Department and CFG Health Systems, which is the health care provider for the correctional facility, according to the statement.
DUANESBURG - Four days before Christmas, elementary school students came outside to find bags and boxes of toys.
There are toys for all of the roughly 300 students at Duanesburg Elementary to give some smiles in a tough year. This is so exciting, said Principal Andrea Conover. In a school year that has been tremendously hard and difficult and nothing like the kids have ever experienced, this kind of brings a little excitement and joy back here.
The Schenectady County Sheriff s Department organized this surprise giveaway, working with the Marines Toys for Tots. When the lieutenant reached out and said Hey, is there anything we can do to help these kids this year out of the school, we said absolutely, said SSgt. Patrick Lurenz, Coordinator of Capital Region Toys for Tots.
