Sexual criminal and Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been diagnosed as the carrier of the Corona virus - according to foreign reports. Overseas sites say the 68-year-old Weinstein is now isolated in the compound of his New York detention center after he first entered the county jail last Wednesday informing his ward staff that he believed he had contracted the virus when he was staying at the infamous Corrections Island facility , In which a number of carriers of the deadly virus were discovered.

At this time, the ministry responsible for incarceration and supervision did not confirm the information due to privacy laws, but confirmed that two prisoners in the detention facility where the producer was staying had indeed been examined and carried.

Weinstein began serving a 23-year prison sentence last week after pleading guilty earlier this month to third-degree rape and sexual assault. At the time of his trial, Weinstein suffered from a number of medical problems, which he subsequently spent in hospitals as well as in the prison clinics where he was imprisoned.
