Singapore's prison inmates, numbering about 11,000, have each been issued with a reusable mask as part of the country's precautionary moves to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
In providing an update on its measures, the prison service also said the temperature of all inmates is taken twice daily, and safe distancing measures are in place to reduce any congregating of inmates, like during yard time for recreation. In the United States, the Federal Bureau of Prisons reported that 180 of its employees and 352 federal inmates have tested positive for Covid-19 across the country as of Sunday.
The prison service also works closely with the courts to implement safe distancing measures for inmates who need to be escorted for court appearances. Video conferencing is used when possible.
