Eight prisoners are being kept isolated in their cell after an outbreak of influenza that has hit the Corradino Correctional Facility, Home Affairs Minister Carmelo Abela said this morning.
One prisoner died on Thursday of the complications that arose after his infection, while two others have been taken to hospital. One of them is being kept in intensive care while the other is in the infectious diseases ward; both are however in stable condition.
A press conference was called this morning in the wake of the death of an inmate on Thursday. The prisoner was admitted to Mater Dei Hospital with a severe chest infection and died from "respiratory complications brought on by the influenza virus".
