BERLIN — The federal prison in Berlin is in the middle of a major COVID-19 outbreak with 167 inmates and 29 staff testing positive Wednesday. The numbers were even higher a day before, when the Bureau of Prison’s website listed 218 inmates were positive out of a total population of 760.

A spokeswoman for the BOP said the Berlin prison has been placed on a Level Three modified operations status, which requires facility-wide masking, social distancing and daily symptom screening. All visitation to the Berlin prison is suspended.
