Disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been confirmed as one of two inmates at Wende Correctional Facility in New York to have Corona Virus (Covid-19).
He was initially taken to Rikers Island following his conviction of rape and sexual assault. It isn’t certain when and where Weinstein may have contracted the virus.
The filmmaker is said not to have had any contact with his lawyers or family members since his diagnosis.
It would be recalled that Harvey Weinstein has been looking frail during court appearances and using a walker and aides, and frequently being hospitalized in New York over the past month.
At least 19 inmates in New York City prisons, 12 employees have been diagnosed with Coronavirus.
