A second nurse affiliated with the Hudson County jail, Edwin Montanano, has died, county spokesman Jim Kennelly said Monday morning.

Another nurse is currently on a ventilator, said sources with knowledge of conditions at the jail.

Montanano was an employee of Wellpath, the contractor that provides medical services at the jail.

This is the third death of an employee associated with the jail to be announced in the past week, although The Jersey Journal has not confirmed that either Montanano or the hospitalized nurse tested positive for the coronavirus.

Nurse Daisy Doronila died after first being diagnosed with strep throat and days later being placed on a ventilator, her daughter wrote in a Facebook post.

Bernard Waddell Sr., 56, a correctional police officer, died after contracting the coronavirus, according to the New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Association.

Both Doronila and Waddell had worked at the jail for more than 20 years.
