HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Just a few days after reporting their first positive COVID-19 case, a second inmate at Maui Community Correctional Center has tested positive for the virus.
About 20 inmates are now in isolation at the facility and 75 have been placed under quarantine as they undergo precautionary testing.
Two corrections officers were also asked to quarantine due to possible exposure to the inmate.
