The suspension went into effect Jan. 18, and will continue through Feb. 17.
As of Jan. 18, 60 cases of COVID-19 among NCP inmates were reported, and 20 Department of Corrections employees were also in quarantine after testing positive. Almost 400 inmates have tested positive since the start of the pandemic.
