Lake Cumberland Ddistrict Health Dept. report...

Today we are happy to report no new cases. We also released four from isolation (recovered from the virus), two from Russell, one from Pulaski, and one from Taylor. We have released 81% of our total cumulative cases. We do announce an additional death today, an 83-year-old female nursing home resident from Adair. She was one who had been released (meaning she was disease-free), but later succumbed to lasting complications caused by the virus.

The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 207 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 8,069 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across 116 Kentucky Counties as of 05/19/20 (this includes 8,069 statewide plus 0 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.

Drive-through testing is going on in Clinton County through tomorrow. Also, find a testing location at ky.covid19.ky.gov.
