(24/7 News) -- The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction says they will begin testing every inmate at three of their facilities.
Officials confirmed on Sunday that they would be checking inmates at Franklin Medical Center, Pickaway Correctional Institution, and the Marion Correctional Institution.
The ODRC says the testing is due to the nature of those facilities inmate populations and their current circumstances. Currently, at the three centers, around 50 inmates and 76 staff have tested positive for COVID-19.
