LOUISVILLE, Ky. — State Representative Attica Scott said she has tested positive for COVID-19.
Scott, who represents Kentucky’s 41st District, said she was tested last week and received positive results when her test came back Sunday.
She recorded a video message on Twitter Sunday evening.
“I’m going to adhere to the health department guidelines, and I am self-quarantining for the next 14 days until I get tested again,” she said. “I want to thank the health care workers who are testing folks daily, providing contact tracing – just taking care of us.”
Rep. Scott said her daughter, who is also a health care worker, tested negative.
She’s urging everyone to continue social distancing and wearing masks.
