Tennessee corrections officials are looking into testing all state inmates for the virus after positive tests have come back for staffers and inmates at several facilities, including Bledsoe County Correctional Complex, Northwest Correctional Complex, Trousdale Turner Correctional Center and Turney Center Industrial Complex. Those who have tested positive or were exposed to someone testing positive have been put in quarantine for 14 days, WJHL reports. Despite several attempts have the Corrections Department  release inmates, the department says it “has no plans for early release … at this time.”
