The director of a Philadelphia non-profit is back home after being held in South America after testing positive for coronavirus COVID-19. Brian Jenkins is Executive Director of Chosen 300 Ministries which provides services for the homeless and hungry. Chosen 300 also has missions in other parts of the world. Jenkins had tested positive in Philadelphia for COVID-19 in early December and was asymptomatic. He later tested negative twice before he left for Guyana, South America, for one of his missions in early January. However, when he arrived in Guyana, he tested positive again and was forced to go to a COVID hospital he called 'COVID jail.' He was there for 10 days, but could have been held for 2 months. With the help of US lawmakers including Sen. Bob Casey and a negative test, Jenkins was released from the hospital and flew back to the US.
