  • Sedgwick County jail deputy tests positive for coronavirus, another awaiting test results

Sedgwick County sheriff Jeff Easter says a detention deputy at the county jail has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus.  That deputy is at home recovering.

Easter said Thursday a second deputy was not feeling well and showing symptoms, and that deputy is presumptive positive.  The deputy is at home and waiting for results from a test.

Easter said no inmates have tested positive for the virus.  He said there has been tension and anxiety with staff in the sheriff’s office since the two cases developed.  He said staff will be updated on situations that occur, and the sheriff’s office is taking steps to prevent the spread of the virus.  The county jail lobby was recently closed to the public.
