Dear Tanja,
Thank you for your help with this request and we look forward to the complete data.
In response to your email about item 1 in our record request, we understand that you are not able to provide individual records. To understand the epidemiology of the outbreak though, information on location of cases is essential. Would it be possible to include the de-identified number of cases and dates of case notifications per facility (item #1) as is routinely done for COVID-19 in Washington prisons?
Thank you again for your time.

Dear all,
Thank you for your latest installment. Would you please clarify what the two tables (items 5 and 6) include? Is item 5 the number of positive skin tests among correctional officers? Were these unique tests or unique individuals? If the former, would you please indicate as well the number of individuals who had been ever tested and the number of individuals who had at least one positive skin test?
For item 6, is this the number of individuals tested? Would you please stratify this by time period so that we can determine rate of skin test positivity?
Thank you for your help. We look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
