And now my story on the first case. The inmate who tested positive for COVID-19 was asymptomatic according to the department& #39;s statement. Corrections officials have been repeatedly urged to do mass testing for this very reason.

As I previously reported, at the April 29 Nevada Sentencing Commission NDOC said it only tests people with symptoms -- only 39 out of more than 12,000 inmates at that time. Members @CrimeGenderProf and @tjstory @aclunv urged the director to mass test. https://www.nevadacurrent.com/2020/04/30/state-panel-rejects-proposals-to-even-consider-reducing-inmate-population/">https://www.nevadacurrent.com/2020/04/3...

The @ACLUNV told @NevadaCurrent this is the moment they fear, but expected. “NDOC has announced that its next goal is mitigating and preventing the spread of the virus, and we are perplexed because that should have been NDOC’s primary focus all along," said Sherrie Royster.
