A Kentucky couple refused to sign self-quarantine papers after testing positive for coronavirus.

Now they have to wear ankle monitors.

A married couple in Hardin County, Kentucky was ordered to wear ankle monitors after refusing to sign the "Self-isolation and Controlled Movement Agreed Order," CBS Affiliate WKYT reported.

Elisabeth Linscott told NBC affiliate WAVE that she had tested for coronavirus on Saturday, July 11, because she was planning to visit family members in Michigan. She was asymptomatic but tested positive, WAVE reported.

After Linscott tested positive for coronavirus she told the news channel that she refused to meet the health department's request that she signs documents that restricted her from traveling without permission. She said that although the couple did not agree to sign the papers, they were not refusing to self-quarantine.

"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 WAVE. She added in the interview that the Director of the Public Health Department "told the judge" that "I was refusing to self-quarantine," but that "that was not the case at all."

I don't think it would be a problem to go to the hospital. I seriously doubt they would require permission for that.

She wanted to go to Michigan with her hubby.

tells her to stay the fuck home.

I just don't understand why anyone is travelling anywhere these days. Yeah, I miss my family and friends in other cities, but I'll stay home and be safe, thank you very much.
