Today we report one new case in Lake Cumberland, a Nursing Home employee in Adair County. On more positive notes, we are happy to report no new area deaths and that we released 13 from isolation (recovered). That means 80% of our confirmed cases have now recovered.

The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 193 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 6,855 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across 113 Kentucky Counties as of 05/12/20 (this includes 6,853 statewide plus 2 recently reported cases in Lake Cumberland not in the Governor’s daily report). Regardless of the confirmed case count for any Lake Cumberland County, we believe COVID-19 to be widespread. LCDHD is working to identify and contact all those with whom any positive case may have come into close contact.

We continue to encourage all local partners who are providing COVID-19 testing to register on the kycovid19.ky.gov webpage so the public can have a consistent location to find testing site information. We continue to review the Governor’s business reopening guidance and to field questions from local businesses regarding such.
