Wisconsin corrections officials say Kettle Moraine Correctional Institution has more than 260 active cases of the coronavirus, in addition to another 100 inmates who have recovered from the virus.

Wisconsin Department of Corrections spokesperson John Beard said the entire inmate population of nearly 1,110 is being quarantined.
