A South Texas emergency room physician has chosen a novel place to self-isolate as he's treating patients with the novel coronavirus.
Dr Jason Barnes made a temporary home of his children's treehouse in the backyard of the family's Corpus Christi home.
He is among many health care workers who are leaving their homes or or taking other precautions to protect their families after being exposed to the virus.
Barnes, a 39-year-old physician at Christus Spohn Hospital Beeville and Christus Spohn Hospital South in Corpus Christi, told the Corpus Christi Caller-Times that he has spent nearly three weeks in the cabin treehouse.
