Prisons have been said to be the most susceptible to widespread infection associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. While Tekashi 6ix9ine was recently released due to the virus and subjected to "home confinement," YNW Melly has found himself on the wrong side things as he was one of two inmates to contract the virus at Broward County Jail in Florida.
The news broke via Melly's IG page which captioned a photo of him with his family:
"Melly has tested positive for COVID-19 today while awaiting his trial in Broward County Jail. He’ll be filing a motion for restricted release in hopes of better care due to any jails not being prepared to treat this new virus. He hopes for your support and to recover soon #prayformelly send positive energy to him please"
