<p>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.</p>
<p class="text | article-text">Elizabeth Linscott of Hardin County got tested for COVID-19 last week because she was preparing to visit her parents in Michigan, <a href="https://www.wave3.com/2020/07/17/hardin-county-couple-house-arrest-after-not-signing-positive-covid-self-isolation-order/">WAVE-TV</a> reported.</p>
<p class="text | article-text">“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.”</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p class="text | article-text">“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 &#8220;would take necessary precautions if she needed to go to the hospital, like letting workers know she has recently tested positive for COVID-19.&#8221;</p>
<p>Just days after refusing to sign the document, the Hardin County Sheriff’s Department arrived at her home.</p>
<p>“I open up the door, and there’s like eight different people, five different cars,” said her husband, Isaiah, who was home at the time. “I’m like, ‘What the heck’s going on?&#8217; This guy’s in a suit with a mask. It’s the health department guy, and he has three papers for us — for me, her and my daughter.”</p>
<p class="text | article-text">The law enforcement officials ordered the couple to wear ankle monitors, which will notify the officials if either Elizabeth or Isaiah travel more than 200 feet.</p>
<p class="text | article-text">“We didn’t rob a store. We didn’t steal something. We didn’t hit and run. We didn’t do anything wrong,” Elizabeth said.</p>
<p>She also said they never refused to self-quarantine. “That’s exactly what the director of the Public Health Department told the judge, that I was refusing to self-quarantine because of this, and that’s not the case at all,” she said. “I never said that.”</p>
<p>Some municipalities are getting extreme with penalties connected with COVID-19, like the wearing of masks. West Hollywood, for instance, is threatening massive fines.</p>
<p>“The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department West Hollywood Station said Wednesday it would start citing people for not wearing face coverings,” effective immediately, <a href="https://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2020/07/01/west-hollywood-sheriffs-station-to-start-citing-people-not-wearing-face-coverings/">CBS-LA</a> reported. “The department said it took the step after receiving a number of complaints about people not wearing face coverings in West Hollywood.”</p>
<p>The fines start out low but soar for repeat offenders. For a first offense, there’s a $250 fine plus $50 processing fee, the sheriff’s department said in a statement. The second offense brings a $1,000 fine, the third a $2,000 fine — and for a fourth offense, a whopping $5,000 fine.</p>
