Mendocino County’s fifth confirmed case of coronavirus came via a former state prisoner who, after being told he had been exposed to the coronavirus, was released early and traveled to Ukiah before local authorities discovered him, tested him and isolated him.
The former inmate, a man between the ages of 19 and 34, was exposed to the coronavirus while in the state prison in Chino and is one of roughly 3,500 inmates released early by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration to curb the spread of COVID-19. The cramped nature of prison life makes social distancing, a key step to preventing the spread of the virus, exceedingly difficult.
