Two residents of the Florida Keys have been jailed for failing to quarantine after testing positive for the new coronavirus.
Jose Interian, 24, and Yohana Gonzalez, 26, are facing charges of violating isolation rules for a quarantine and violating emergency management disaster preparedness rules, according to jail records. They were arrested Wednesday in Key West, officials said.
The Miami Herald reports Interian and Gonzalez had been ordered by the health department to quarantine after testing positive for COVID-19, but neighbors said they were ignoring the order.
Someone videotaped the couple and gave it to Key West police, according to Greg Veliz, Key West’s city manager.
“There were complaints from the neighborhood of them continuing to be outside, going about normal life functions,” Veliz said.
