SUMTER COUNTY, Fla. – Tony Perry is back at home recovering after being diagnosed with the coronavirus. Susan Perry said her husband of 25 years began exhibiting symptoms after the couple returned from a trip. “We flew out of Orlando into Providence and we thought we took all the precautions, we cleaned everything with disinfectant,” Susan Perry said.
The 67-year-old man had a dry cough and a fever hovering around 104 when his wife noticed something was amiss. “He described a headache and body aches so immediately thought we could be dealing with COVID-19, so I stopped and took him to the emergency department,” Perry said.
