Councilwoman Parker in self-quarantine following exposure to COVID-19 while serving as Nurse at local hospital.

I would like to take a moment and give you an update regarding my recent exposure to the COIVID-19 virus. As many of you may already know, I have spent the past 39 years as a registered nurse and continue to work on a part-time basis as a RN at a local hospital. I am currently dealing with many of the symptoms that are associated with the virus, but I have not yet been tested and will continue to self-quarantine until given clearance by my doctors and the hospital where I work. 

I recently came into close contact caring for a patient who was later diagnosed with COVID-19. Since that time, I have been in self-quarantine and focusing on doing my best to ensure that, if I do have the virus, it does not spread to others. As a Metro Council representative, I had already moved my daily activities away from City Hall and have been working through digital communications with my colleagues. I will continue working to serve my constituents and get results for the people of this community despite these challenges. In the interest of being fully transparent, I felt it was important to notify those that I serve of my exposure. 

I thank everyone in advance for their understanding and hope that people will take this seriously and continue practicing safe social distancing to help reduce the toll this virus will have on our families, friends and those of us in the healthcare profession.

Please remember even though our office is working remotely, we are still here to help with any questions or concerns you may have. Please feel free to call the office at 574-1118 or email me at Marilyn.Parker@louisvilleky.gov, and also include my Legislative Assistant at Chris.Lewis@louisvilleky.gov.

It is an honor to serve as your representative on the Metro Council. Stay safe and healthy! 

Marilyn Parker
