A New Orleans woman died while suffering from coronavirus symptoms before she was able to get back her test results.
Natasha Ott, 39, died on March 19, according to her partner Josh Anderson via a Facebook announcement. Anderson wrote how Natasha was “profoundly kind, passionate, funny and loving,” and was in good health, but complained of feeling like she had a cold on March 10.
Ott was employed as a social worker with people who were HIV positive at a health clinic. According to reports, she had been told she was low-risk and wasn’t tested for coronavirus.

Natasha Ott, 39, died on Saturday. Her boyfriend, Josh Anderson, 40, said in a viral Facebook post that he found her body in the kitchen of her apartment after going to check on her.
“Seeing a woman I knew to be so full of life lying on the floor lifeless was devastating. I was afraid to touch her. I held her anyway,” he wrote.
Anderson claims that Ott first complained of feeling unwell earlier this month, on March 10. At the time, the woman told him she was experiencing cold-like symptoms and a “tiny fever.”
Ott, a social worker, told Anderson that the medical clinic where she worked, Crescent Care, had some coronavirus tests available, but she declined to take one because she was considered low-risk and wanted to leave as many tests available for those in desperate need.
But Ott’s condition continued to deteriorate. She tested negative for the flu and eventually received a coronavirus test about a week after falling ill, on March 16. She was reportedly told she would receive the results in about five days. [Fox News]
