A Kentucky couple was fitted with ankle monitors and placed on house arrest after the wife tested positive for coronavirus but refused to sign self-quarantine documents, according to reports.
Elizabeth Linscott said she got tested for COVID-19 as a precaution because she was planning to visit her parents in Michigan. She received a positive test result but showed no symptoms.
She said the Hardin County Health Department asked her to sign documents agreeing to call them any time she left her house. The young mother claims she never refused to self-quarantine but said she would not sign the documents because of how they were worded, WAVE reported.
“My part was if I have to go to the ER, if I have to go to the hospital, I’m not going to wait to get the approval to go,” Linscott told the station.
After opting not to sign the health department papers, Linscott said she received a text message informing her that the situation would be escalated and law enforcement would be involved, KABC-TV reported. Her husband, Isaiah, said he was greeted by officers at their front door later that week.
"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," Isaiah Linscott said.
"We didn't rob a store. We didn't steal something. We didn't hit and run. We didn't do anything wrong," Elizabeth Linscott added.
The couple said they were fitted with ankle monitors that go off if they stray more than 200 feet from their home.

"I'm like, 'that's not the case at all. I never said that,” she said.
unconstitutional!!
"I would urge the leaders -- the local, political and other leaders -- in states and cities and towns to be as forceful as possible in getting your citizenry to wear"....ankle monitors?
Ankle minotors are important. We should be using them everywhere! /s
The DNC should give Biden an ankle monitor—can’t let him escape confinement!
I’m sure there are the FReeper Karen’s who love in fear of this “virus” that will totally support this unconstitutional maneuver by armed agents of the state
Hmm...I think I’ll postpone getting tested. I feel fine, but just sort of wanted an ‘All Clear’. That’s okay.
This reminds me of if you got VD (Gonorrhea or Syphillis) in the old days, and you were treated at a public clinic.
I believe that data then becomes property of the US Govt., to distribute and share as they choose. If you’re really sick, it doesn’t matter, get help. But if you’re just kind of curious, maybe think about it first.
Taiwan did the ankle monitor thing with all infected people. Fine was 1 million NT ($30,000 US) if they broke quarantine. They have not had a new covid case in 58 days.
They also live in a police state.
I’ll take Chicom Flu over police state.
And yet states are letting prisoners free by the thousands so that they don’t catch Kung flu
That pic right there depicts who the real POTUS is....according to the communists. That POS needs to be gagged and locked up in GITMO as domestic enemy combatant...him and Scarf.
so do you approve?
Taiwan must not have a lot of visitors flying into their country. Lucky them.
So..just which side are you one?
The tyrannical side?
Yeah because they got as far as they wanted placing ankle monitors on people. The tyranny of it. I can not imagine.
Dumbasrocks: 99.6% survival rate, not one person under the age of 20 in the state of Texas has died from it. Over 86% of people who die from it have had an underlying health issue (much like the flu). I think you are on the wrong website if you believe in this. I strongly suggest MSNBC for you.
Mary Mallon?
They should have just told the judge they're exempt because they are members of a BLM-ANTIFA riot gang.
POWER CORRUPTS. ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY!
Based on the last four months, is there any doubt??
“Why hasn’t this been done for colds and flus?“
I will also add, how many people believe they are sick with the cold or flu who show no symptoms? That is what we are talking about here. If you have no symptoms you are not a case!
