Another Travis County Jail inmate has tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, authorities reported on Monday.

The Travis County sheriff’s office, which manages the jail for the county, said the one positive case among inmates comes amid six new confirmed cases among the agency’s employees.

Officials say the inmate was released on bail, so no inmates are currently quarantined with the virus.

However, 18 inmates are quarantined with either virus-like symptoms or because they refused to answer questions devised by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for new inmates arriving at the jail.

As of Monday, the Travis County sheriff’s office reported a total of 54 positive COVID-19 cases among inmates since the pandemic began.

Two tests were pending as of Monday morning, according to the statement.

A total of 96 Travis County sheriff’s office employees have tested positive for the disease.
