Three Miami-Dade corrections officers and two inmates have died of complications of COVID-19 in recent days, a reminder of the virus’ lethal impact even as the overall numbers wane in the jails and across South Florida.
Since last week, the deadly viral disease killed officers Calyne St. Val, 40, and Sylvia Allen, 50, and Corporal Terrell Jordan.
