Last week was one of our worst weeks for COVID-19 since the outbreak began. So far, this week is trending even higher. We fear that public complacency has set in and a sense of urgency has been lost. Hopefully, we won’t have to experience another significant spike before we start heeding the precautions.
Remember, avoiding crowds as much as possible remains your best way to reduce your risk. Washing your hands with soap and water often and thoroughly, wearing a mask when out in public, staying home if you have a fever or are coughing, increasing sanitation, and avoiding touching your face further reduces your risk.
The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 266 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 11,889 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across 119 Kentucky Counties as of 06/10/20 (this includes 11,883 statewide plus 6 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.
