Abstract On April 6, 2020, a confirmed COVID-19 case in a correctional facility employee (Staff A) was reported to the Vermont Department of Health (VDH). Staff A worked in the facility while symptomatic, without reporting symptoms, for 10 days. VDH and the facility conducted two facility-wide testing events, implemented symptom monitoring, and initiated contact tracing. All 197 incarcerated persons and 115 (71%) staff were tested for SARS-CoV-2; 45 (23%) incarcerated persons and 17 (10%) staff had positive results (confirmed case), of whom 37 (82%) incarcerated persons and 1 (6%) staff had asymptomatic infections. Case detection enabled isolation of incarcerated persons and staff, work exclusion of staff with COVID-19, and quarantine of staff and incarcerated persons who had close contact with persons with COVID-19. Broad-based SARS-CoV-2 testing identified more cases than symptom monitoring.
