Courtney Lewis, 25, and Adrienne Rease, 30, are cousins and live in Dallas.

They admit they did not take the early warnings seriously, and have both tested positive for COVID-19.

“They told me we need to be in quarantine until April 9,” Lewis said.

“I started to have shortness of breath and that was scary for me because I've never had trouble breathing. Feeling light headed, the fatigue was really bad, we haven't had appetites,” Rease added. “My body was really aching, the next day I had sweats, I had a fever, migraine, the flu symptoms.”

Lewis has a message for anyone who thinks the shelter-at-home order in Dallas County, which was extended through April 30, is an overreaction.

“You don't know how you can get it. I understand you have to go to the grocery store, but limit it. Don't hang out with friends, you don't know where everyone has been, you don't know if they have it because they don't know if they have it,” Lewis said. “So my thing is stay at home and know that God is in control. ​

Dallas Fire-Rescue also reported it now has seven members who have tested positive for COVID-19, and has more than 50 firefighters quarantined.
