The 41-year-old mum from Stoke, Staffordshire binned the chicken fried rice, chips and fillet Cantonese beef out of fear for her grandmother and child’s health and wellbeing
A woman binned a £23 takeaway because she wrongly believed the delivery driver should be self-isolating.
The 41-year-old, who has asked not to be named, was told by the Norton China restaurant driver that he had just come back from a break in Greece.
Mistakenly believing that there was not a air bridge with parts of the Mediterranean country, the mum assumed that he should be in quarantine, Stoke Sentinel reported.
Fearing that he could be infected with the coronavirus, the Stoke woman binned the meal of chicken fried rice, chips and fillet Cantonese beef he’d dropped off.
She then rang Staffordshire Police.
