A Davidson County inmate has died after contracting the COVID-19 virus, the Tennessean reports. The 64-year-old woman, who has yet to be identified, had been hospitalized at Nashville General Hospital since Aug. 18. The woman was arrested on July 7 for failure to appear on a fourth-offense driving under the influence charge and was being held on $500,000 bond. Spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office Karla West said today that two of the jail’s 1,197 residents had tested positive for COVID-19, while 324 had already recovered.
