Santwon Antonio Davis told his employer he tested positive for coronavirus, according to reports.
Only one problem.
According to a Yahoo report, the Atlanta, Georgia man didn’t have the virus, but his claim caused the company he worked for — described as a Fortune 500 company — to have to close its doors for cleaning.
The report said that cost the company $100,000.
And it has now cost Davis, too, because the story says he is facing fraud charges. The report said Davis provided the company with a letter saying he had COVID-19 that was not signed and wasn’t written on formal letterhead. It said the letter also said he was discharged in November of 2019.
The story says he made the claims to his company in March “shortly after he and his fellow employees were told that if they tested positive for the virus, they would be granted paid time off.”
Davis told supervisors a week later that his mother had been exposed to someone with coronavirus. The next day, he texted a supervisor saying his mother had developed symptoms and he was told to quarantine, the story said.
The company closed its plant on March 23, the report says, for cleaning and paid the salaries of “at least four employees while they quarantined because they’d been in close contact with Davis.”
Things began to change, however, when the company’s human resources folks got ahold to the paperwork Davis provided. And, the story began to really unravel when the company called the hospital he said he was tested at, the report says, only to find out that facility wasn’t providing coronavirus testing.
Since, the story says, he has admitted that he never tested positive.
