The authorities further stated that one of the three infected persons is being treated at Tigoni Hospital while two others are in isolation at the prison's staff quarters.
Some inmates, however, raised concerns over an ongoing water shortage that could prove detrimental to preventive measures against spread of the Coronavirus infection.
