Man dies after allegedly being turned away for COVID-19 test 3 times

A black Detroit family is mourning the loss of a relative who they say was turned away from getting tested for coronavirus three times.

Gambrell said Fowler was showing symptoms of the virus and Gambrell’s mom was later admitted to the hospital with symptoms and put on a ventilator.
