Allegheny Co. Jail To Begin Allowing In-Person Visitation Again

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- The Allegheny County Jail will reopen to visitors starting on Monday.

Warden Orlando Harper says because of the decline in COVID-19 cases at the jail and in the community, they'll be slowly phasing in-person visitation back to the jail.

The first phase will be limited to visitors who are fully vaccinated.

There's an exception for children under 5 years old who aren't eligible to receive the COVID vaccine yet.

Virtual visits will remain an option.
