INTELLIHUB) — Residents of a Sacramento suburb were shocked when they found themselves forcefully quarantined and put under a gag order by police on Friday after a man died after contracting the deadly COVID-19 disease.
County sheriff’s deputies and police who sealed of the area were spotted wearing personal protective equipment such as masks and gloves while a police chopper circled the block from overhead ordering residents back into their homes.
The county health department issued a statement after the lockdown stating: “Law enforcement partners are currently responding to enforce a health officer’s order. We cannot share any additional information to protect patient confidentiality.”
