Authorities have ordered Louisville residents who have been exposed to the potentially deadly virus but won’t self-quarantine to wear a tracking device to ensure they don’t leave the house. In Jefferson County, Kentucky — where Governor Andy Beshear said schools should remain closed through May 1 — the court system appointed an on-call judge to handle these cases, according to WDRB. In one situation, a person identified as D.L. in the court order refused to remain in their home — even though they live with “someone who has tested positive for the illness and another person who is a presumptive case,” WDRB reported. D.L., according to family members, “leaves the house often.” WDRB reports that there are at least three other recent cases in which authorities have made possibly contagious Kentuckians wear ankle monitors. Jefferson County has more than 228 confirmed coronavirus cases ass of Friday afternoon, according to Johns Hopkins University.
