A co worker just came back to the office after serving on a detail at LAX

She had to undergo 14 days quarantine before coming back to the office.

During staff meeting yesterday she told us that she HAD NOT been tested for the virus before leaving California, or after returning here to Georgia.

We know that there was a recent case of an individual coming down with the disease after a 30 day quarantine.

Needless to say, we all avoided her like the plague.

I would like to think they test everyone who had to undergo a quarantine.

One of my husband’s co-workers told him that her missionary son and spouse barely got out of Malaysia before they stopped flights out.
They arrived last night from Atlanta by car. They didn’t come straight to Nashville because flights were cheaper to Atlanta.

I have no idea if they were tested before leaving Malaysia or tested after arriving at Atlanta. Are they self-quarantined right now? I doubt it...they’re probably clothes shopping.
The co-worker should be self-quarantining, imo, but isn’t, and is coming to work downtown in a busy office building.
It’s beyond exasperating.
