Couple Put On House Arrest, Get Ankle Monitors For Refusing To Sign Quarantine Documents

By  Joseph Curl

A Kentucky couple has been placed on house arrest and fitted with ankle monitors after the woman tested positive for coronavirus but would not sign documents pledging to self-quarantine and notify the health department whenever she went anywhere, according to reports.

Elizabeth Linscott of Hardin County got tested for COVID-19 last week because she was preparing to visit her parents in Michigan, WAVE-TV reported.

“My grandparents wanted to see me, too,” Linscott said. “So, just to make sure if I tested negative, that they would be OK, that everything would be fine.”

Linscott said she tested positive, but she had no symptoms of the virus. A short time later, she said, the county health department contacted her and asked her to sign a document that she would not travel anywhere without first calling the health department. She said she decided not to sign the document, called a Self-isolation and Controlled Movement Agreed Order.

“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,” she said, adding that she “would take necessary precautions if she needed to go to the hospital, like letting workers know she has recently tested positive for COVID-19.”

Just days after refusing to sign the document, the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department arrived at her home.
