ORLANDO, Fla. – In mid-March, 53-year-old Jack Sines returned from a work trip after visiting California and Washington, two of the current hot spots for COVID-19.
Sines said he developed symptoms of a cold including a bad cough, and his doctor told him to get tested for coronavirus. He said the wait for answers has caused him and his family distress. “It’s very stressing and causing some anxiety because I’ve got underlying health issues.
