All have finished their quarantine periods or are no longer at NCP. Since March 2020, NCP has conducted 3,177 tests for COVID-19 on inmates. All new inmates coming into the facility receive a test before they are transferred to General Population; residents are tested on a random basis.

Sixty-four NCP Corrections Officers have tested positive for the virus since the start of the pandemic. Sixty-three have finished their quarantine periods and returned to work.

There are currently 520 inmates in residence at NCP. Twenty-seven non-violent offenders have been granted extended furloughs.
