LOUISVILLE, Kentucky -- A Kentucky couple is under house arrest after one of them tested positive for coronavirus and refused to sign self-quarantine papers.
Elizabeth Linscott got tested for COVID-19 because she was planning to go visit her parents.
"My grandparents wanted to see me, too, so, just to make sure that, you know, if I tested negative, that they would be okay, everything would be fine," Linscott said.
After testing positive but without showing any symptoms, Linscott said the health department contacted her, requesting she sign documents.
"I agreed to comply to call the Health Department if I was to go. I was to call the Health Department if I was to leave my house for any reason," she said.
But, she chose not to sign.
"I had gotten a message from them, a text message that stated, because of your refusal to sign, this is going to be escalated, and law enforcement will be involved," she said.
Later that week, the county sheriff greeted Linscott's husband, Isaiah, at their front door.
"I open up the door, and there's like eight different people, five different cars, and I'm like 'what the heck's going on?' This guy's in a suit with a mask. It's the Health Department guy, and they have three papers for us. For me, her and my daughter," he said.
The couple was ordered to wear ankle monitors. If they travel more than 200 feet, law enforcement will be notified.
"We didn't rob a store. We didn't steal something. We didn't hit and run. We didn't do anything wrong," Linscott said.
The couple said they never denied self-quarantining. They just didn't agree with the wording of the documents.

Are you suggesting this entire ABC news segment out of Houston TX is fabricated?
Thanks for the local report!
Here watch the video in the link at the top.
There is an interview of the couple in the link.
I do the temp things...and the questionnaire. And that is it...
Do they have to retest after two weeks? If they test negative, then do they have to wear a mask? Or do you have the virus forever?
I do not know?
They can get away with it and you can’t.
The active virus test should be clear after three weeks.
the police won’t be on our side for this.
you are going to test positive if you sign up for testing and leave before you get tested.
I am not signing up.
smart choice :)
One FReeper posted a short story on how he moved from Washington State to Kentucky and escaped the menaces to freedom but guess what? This kind of thing isn’t happening in WA. They haven’t been heavy handed at all up here.
They're already getting tickets and fines in Nashville for not wearing masks. Big signs along the sidewalks stating "Wear a mask. It's the law."
America’s Founders are not on your side on this.
Shame that our medical science hasn’t advanced more since the 18th century...
But there it is.
Our Founders were not fools.
They weren’t but they were also not in favor of people lying and faking statistics to affect public policy and deprive people of inalienable rights.
now if you want to be an idiot and believe fauxci and the govtards whitmer and cuomo who literally murdered thousands of elderly by moving infected people into their assisted living homes to bump up the numbers and make this appear worse than it is
go right ahead.
the founders would not have been snookered by bullshiite artists like you apparently have been.
“Big signs along the sidewalks stating “Wear a mask. It’s the law.”
What law? What signs? Pictures or it didn’t happen.
LOL!
You don’t care one whit about our Founders!
Lots of evidence of how they treated plagues.
But it doesn’t fit your bizarre views.
If medical science allowed us to be more subtle, I’m sure our Founders would be all for that.
But it doesn’t.
