MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Annie Jones was extra cautious when she went to Treadwell Middle School to pick up her nephew Monday.
Like other parents, she learned about the quarantined employee through an early morning phone call.
She wore plastic bags from her head to her toes-- literally.
“They ain’t giving us no up to date about what’s going on,” said Jones. “We don’t know.”
