Schenectady County Jail on lockdown following staff, inmate COVID positives | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS 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.
