Coronavirus symptoms: what are they and should you see a doctor?

Kentucky has taken the extraordinary step of forcing a resident diagnosed with coronavirus to self-quarantine after refusing to do so.

Governor Andy Beshear said on Saturday that authorities in the state found four more confirmed cases of the pathogen, including one patient in Nelson County who was forced into his home.

According to Beshear, a 53-year-old man tested positive for coronavirus at the University of Louisville.

When authorities insisted that the man self-quarantine, he refused, according to the Lexington Herald Dealer.
