COVID-19
As a result of COVID-19, many of CSC’s operations were modified or temporarily suspended.
CSC constantly monitors the public health situation in each region, including community transmission, and makes decisions to increase access to sites based on risk levels. CSC also consults public health and local occupational health and safety and inmate committees prior to implementing any plans.
