The Eyman and Marana facilities both house 3 inmates with coronavirus; Florence has two positive inmates and Tucson has one.
ADCRR announced the first two positive cases of coronavirus among its inmate population in an April 7 press release, at which time 60 prisoners had been tested.
One of the two initial confirmed cases had been treated in a community hospital for symptoms unrelated to coronavirus, and then tested negative twice for COVID-19 before being diagnosed.
The other case was diagnosed and treated at Marana Community Correctional Treatment Facility.
The department says it will update its website daily with new coronavirus information.
