Lincoln – A staff member at a Nebraska prison has tested positive for the coronavirus, officials announced last Sunday.

The Department of Correctional Services said the staffer works for its Diagnostic and Evaluation Center in Lincoln and has been isolated at home for five days.

“The individual in this case has indicated no close contact with any other staff members of inmates,” Department Director Scott Frakes said in a statement.

Frakes said the prison will take additional precautions and monitor the temperatures of the people in the housing unit where the employee worked.

This is the second known case of coronavirus among department employees. The department said no inmates had tested positive.
