A Tennessee woman died six months ago, but that didn’t stop the Shelby County Health Department from sending her a letter notifying her that she tested positive for the Chinese coronavirus and needed to self-quarantine, her bewildered son said Thursday.

WKYC reports:
Troy Whittington said he was surprised when he opened the letter this week from the Shelby County Health Department. He knew what was in that letter was false.

Whittington said a letter arrived from the Shelby County Health Department for his mother, Sandra Whittington. The letter says she has been diagnosed as COVID positive and needed to isolate.

That would be difficult, according to her obituary: the 66-year-old died February 16th. That was weeks before the first case of COVID-19 was detected in Shelby County.

I don’t see how you would quarantine a dead person.
 
I reckon a person by her name has tested positive and they got the address wrong, or someone has given a false name at testing.

If she actually received the letter, I bet it had a LOT of extra postage.

She will no doubt receive her mail in ballot as well…:roll_eyes:

Excellent point about how wrong addresses, etc. are not limited to test results.

Exclusive mail-in balloting should not be allowed.
