Raleigh’s CBS News affiliate reports:
A leader of the ReOpen NC group revealed in a Facebook post that she tested positive for COVID-19. Audrey Whitlock posted to the ReOpen NC Facebook page early Sunday saying her two-week quarantine was ending. She described herself as an “an asymptomatic COVID19 positive patient.”
Whitlock is one of the administrators of the ReOpen NC Facebook page – which has helped organize two protests in downtown Raleigh calling for Gov. Roy Cooper to lift his stay-at-home order. She said she was “forced” to quarantine which violated her First Amendment rights.
She went on to say that “It has been insinuated by others that if I go out, I could be arrested for denying a quarantine order.” She says an arrest in that situation would violate the Americans with Disabilities Act.

@raleighpolice So RPD is going to pay Audrey S. Whitlock a visit at their home today, right? Probably shouldn’t wait until tomorrow. https://t.co/PNEdLpEtCr

See this is the problem about wishing for karma to visit. They’ll all end like this, asymptomatic spreaders who will conclude based on their own personal experience it’s no big deal. https://t.co/7ww0Nk6fSk
