Kincaid said Centinela State Prison in Imperial County are taking appropriate procedures.
"When they have 5 days with out any new cases then typically they lift the quarantine case, it means they're past the point of it spreading," Kincaid said.
According to the Imperial County Public Health Department 9 citizens have been diagnosed with H1N1.
"Clearly someone brought it into the prison because there are people whose movement is limited. Inmates don't go out, people come in," she said.
Dr. Gilberto Chavez, Deputy Director, California Department of Public Health's center for infectious diseases released a statement saying.
