BON AIR, Va.—The CCP virus has broken out inside a juvenile detention center in Virginia with 25 children testing positive, accounting for a quarter of all cases reported at youth facilities nationwide, officials said on April 17.
Children’s rights advocates and health experts have warned state officials for weeks that it was just a matter of time before the virus took off inside juvenile facilities. They have called on Gov. Ralph Northam to start releasing as many children as safely possible from centers, including at the newly hit Bon Air Juvenile Correctional Center outside Richmond.
