Jacqueline Leathers, a housekeeper at Accordius Health, said she has tested positive for COVID-19.
“I want them to test the employees,” Leathers said. “That is all I want.”
She said residents at the rehab center in Charlotte are being tested on a regular basis, but staff members are not.
In the video at the top of this webpage, Leathers tells Channel 9′s Damany Lewis she is not only worried about the facility’s residents, but also concerned about the well-being of her daughter, who has special needs.
