Jail inmate in Albuquerque tests positive for COVID-19

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A inmate who recently arrived at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. Bernalillo County said Monday in a statement that the jail learned of the positive test on Sunday, and the inmate is in isolation and receiving treatment. Staff who came in contact with the inmate are self-isolating at home for 14 days as a precaution. New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham pressed President Donald Trump during a call with state governors to ensure adequate resources for the Navajo Nation as its infection rate rises. Lujan Grisham is also asking the Department of Defense to install a military hospital in Albuquerque.
