Operative words
Out of an abundance of caution, the Department is: suspending the transfer of inmates from county jails; holding all new inmates for 15-days at the Central Reception and Assignment facility prior to transferring individuals to their assigned institutions; and temporarily suspending all inter-institutional transfers... All nonessential medical trips are on hold effective immediately and will be reassessed when appropriate.... The Department instituted a temporary suspension of group classes... Temporarily suspending visitation, except for visits related to legal representation
