San Bernardino County had 111 coronavirus cases as of Sunday, (March 29), up from 76 on Saturday, with three deaths. The county also saw its first positive cases of coronavirus in firefighters. Yucaipa reeled from the news of an outbreak in a nursing facility, and a prison inmate in Chino tested positive. The San Bernardino County Fire Department said two of its firefighters tested positive. One works for the County Fire Protection District and the other for the Montclair Fire Department. Both entered self-isolation after experiencing flu-like symptoms. Two more deputies with the County Sheriff’s Department have contracted COVID-19, officials said Sunday (March 29). That makes three deputies since officials announced the first confirmed case within the department involved a patrol deputy last week. At the California Institution for Men in Chino, seven employees and one inmate have tested positive, officials said Sunday. Saturday, the County reported 12 residents of a nursing facility in Yucaipa tested positive, and one patient; an 89-year-old woman with underlying health issues, died from the illness on Thursday.
