On Wednesday, officials announced that a prison located in the Philippines is suffering from a major outbreak of the latest coronavirus with 123 infected prisoners, contributing to fears among protesters about the possibility of infection in some of the world’s most overcrowded prisons.
Prison facilities in the Philippines are overcrowded due to a massive combination of poverty, high crime rates, and a judiciary that is unable to cope with a large volume of cases.
No specifics were given on the possible source of the outbreak.
