A total of 224 people have tested positive since an outbreak of COVID-19 began at the Forsyth County Jail in November, including 186 inmates and 38 staffers, according to the latest numbers released Tuesday by the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services. That's an increase of 39 from from Friday, when 185 people had tested positive for the virus. Despite the increase, Forsyth County commissioners who approve funding for the jail said they support the sheriff's office's efforts to control the outbreak. The jail outbreak remains the second largest in the state, behind the Mecklenburg County Jail. The state health department reported a total of 276 people who had tested positive since the outbreak began at the Mecklenburg County Jail, including 32 staffers and 244 inmates. The state health agency lists one death -- a staffer -- since the outbreak began. A spokeswoman for the Mecklenburg County Jail has disputed the state's numbers and said that there have been no deaths related to COVID-19 at the jail.Â
On top of that, the county will be spending another $2.8 million within county departments, restoring budgets that were trimmed 3% earlier and hiring additional social workers and public-health nurses, as well as someone to help guide the county toward clean-energy goals. Money is in there as well to increase employee pay. From the higher projected revenues, commissioners approved new spending of more than $7.2 million on Thursday. The Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools will get an extra $2.9 million from that amount, plus another $500,000 from a separate coronavirus relief funds for ventilation-system improvements meant to improve air quality in the schools. While many of the groups getting additional money are ones that help the needy, commissioners took no action on the demands of more than 30 anti-eviction protesters who gathered outside Thursday while they met.
