Two Santa Clara County jail inmates are in quarantine at the Elmwood men’s jail after they were visited by a defense attorney who later tested positive for coronavirus, multiple sources confirmed to this news organization.
Sheriff Laurie Smith announced the medical isolation of the inmates at a Friday news conference, and that their COVID-19 exposure was from “someone who came into the jail to interview inmates,” but she declined to specify who that person was.
