HENDERSON COUNTY, Texas — As the number of staff and inmates testing positive for COVID-19 increases, the Henderson County Jail has suspended in-person visitation for inmates until further notice.
The Henderson County Sheriff's Office announced the decision on Facebook Tuesday and said there will be an update once the jail opens back up to visitors.
Henderson County is among several East Texas jails that have canceled in-person visitation for the time being because of the recent COVID-19 spread.
Others include Angelina, Cherokee, Smith and Shelbie county jails.
At both Smith and Cherokee jails, virtual visitation by phone or video remain in place.
