WAVE (Louisville) Anchor Shannon Cogan was not feeling well and she thought she it was strep throat or just a sinus infection.

But, on Sunday night she felt so bad that she went to the emergency room and found out that she tested positive for the coronavirus.

“I washed my hands constantly, wore a mask, cleaned my house all the time, used hand sanitizer, put germ-reducing oils in a diffuser,” she said. “I woke up (Sunday) thinking I had a sinus infection. But by this afternoon it became clear it was more. I felt nauseous and a tightening in my chest. I went to Baptist ER tonight where I got swabbed and the results came back in two hours.”

“Even though I took precautions, it’s clear I should have done more,” she said. “I have been so worried about my kids getting this, especially my son Colt who has heart and lung issues. I am hoping they both, along with my husband, stay healthy.”  

Cogan is now in self-quarantine, alone in her room.

She said she’s slept well the last two nights and her cough is gone.
