Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: FAQs for Correctional and Detention Facilities
section_headers: Administrators at Correctional and Detention Facilities
How to prepare your facility for the possible spread of COVID-19
What steps should I take to prepare my facility?
section_content: Because of close contact and the number of people in correctional and
detention facilities (including prisons and jails), staff and people who are
incarcerated are at greater risk for the spread of germs. To help your
facility prepare for the possible spread of
COVID-19, update your emergency operations plan. This includes:

Adding key COVID-19 prevention strategies and posting information in the facility on how to limit the spread of germs.
Reminding staff to stay home when sick.
Identifying points of contact for local public health agencies.
Identifying physical locations (dedicated housing areas and bathrooms) where you can medically isolate incarcerated persons, as well as where to quarantine known close contacts of people with COVID-19. 
Follow guidance on medical isolation and quarantine.
Medical isolation and quarantine locations should be separate.


Offering flu shots to staff and people who are incarcerated, because limiting cases of flu can help speed the identification of people with COVID-19.
Developing ways to continue providing critical services, such as mental health support.
Ensuring adequate stocks of hygiene, cleaning, and medical supplies. 
Hygiene: Soap (preferably liquid to promote use), tissues, and hand drying supplies, as well as hand sanitizers, when possible. Ensure no-cost access to soap.
Cleaning: EPA-registered disinfectantsexternal icon effective against the virus that causes COVID-19
Medical supplies : Supplies for daily clinic needs, personal protective equipment (PPE), and testing


Creating and testing communications plans to share critical information.
Setting up systems to safely transfer people between facilities and identifying alternative strategies to in-person court appearances, when possible. 
Prevent confirmed and suspected COVID-19 cases and their close contacts from being transferred between jurisdictions and facilities unless necessary for medical evaluation, medical isolation/quarantine, clinical care, extenuating security concerns, or to prevent overcrowding.


Planning for staff absenteeism.

Follow CDC guidance on recommended PPE for staff who will have direct
contact with an individual with possible COVID-19 infection, or infectious
materials. Make contingency plans for the likely event of PPE shortages.
Follow the CDC Interim Clinical Guidance for Management of Patients with
Confirmed Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) and monitor the guidance website regularly
for updates for staff evaluating and providing care for confirmed or suspected
COVID-19 cases. When no on-site healthcare capacity is available, make a plan
for how to ensure that people suspected to have COVID-19 will be medically
isolated, evaluated, tested (if indicated), and provided medical care. Contact
and collaborate with your state, local, tribal and territorial health
departments for more specific guidance.
