A Louisville philanthropist has tested positive for COVID-19 March 13 after attending a Speed Art Museum fundraiser and possibly coming into contact with several Kentucky politicians and the University of Louisville President Neeli Bendapudi.
The philanthropist, who has been identified as Christy Brown, started experiencing symptoms March 8, the day after she attended the Speed Ball.
The symptoms were not those typically associated with COVID-19, so she was not tested until March 12. She is currently reported to be in stable condition and in self-isolation. Brown is one of the 21 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Kentucky.
