Virtual visits with inmates at Her Majesty’s Prisons Dodds have been suspended, until further notice.
The Ministry of Home Affairs, Information and Public Affairs said in a media statement that this comes as a result of a number of prison officers and prisoners either testing positive for COVID-19 or being in quarantine. This has therefore resulted in a reduction of available dedicated prison resources to oversee the process.
The ministry “apologises for any inconvenience this may cause, and assures family and friends of inmates that their safety remains a priority during this time”.
Normal visits will resume as soon as circumstances allow, the statement said. (BGIS)
