cord-283253-qdq4mfz3	Davlantes, Elizabeth	Notes from the Field: COVID-19 Prevention Practices in State Prisons — Puerto Rico, 2020	2020-08-21		.txt	text/plain	657	42	43	These results followed implementation in mid-March of a protocol (2) for the diagnosis, management, and prevention of COVID-19 in all Puerto Rico Department of Correction and Rehabilitation prisons based on CDC's interim guidance on management of COVID-19 in correctional and detention facilities (3) . To minimize SARS-CoV-2 transmission from newly incarcerated persons, all state prison intakes in Puerto Rico now occur at a single location, in the municipality of Bayamon. During March 16-July 31, 2020, 1,340 persons entered Puerto Rico Department of Correction and Rehabilitation prisons, and two (0.1%) had positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR test results. If any group member exhibits COVID-19 symptoms, which are defined according to CDC guidelines (4), the symptomatic person is isolated in the prison's medical facility, and the entire group is quarantined until the symptomatic person receives a negative SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR result.	./cache/cord-283253-qdq4mfz3.txt	./txt/cord-283253-qdq4mfz3.txt
