Released (Recovered) Cases: We released 0 cases today from isolation (recovered). In all, we have released 70.2% of our total cases.

 

Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 416 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This has resulted in the health department reaching out to over 2657 individuals during our contact tracing.

 

Active (Current) Cases: Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 97 active cases in our district across 9 of our 10 counties. Of those active cases, 23 are asymptomatic.

 

New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 11 today: Green: 3; Pulaski: 4; Russell: 2; Taylor: 1; and, Wayne: 1.

  • Green: A 35-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic

  • Taylor: A 24-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Wayne: A 91-year-old female who is self-isolated, asymptomatic

 

We again see a significant rise in new and active cases. At this moment, we have more active cases in our district since the onset of the outbreak. The most common clusters now are emerging from long-term care facilities and out-of-state travel.
 

We remind everyone that our best chance for slowing the spread is:

 

  • Wear a mask when out in public
  • Avoid crowds
  • Social distance (stay 6-feet from others)
  • Wash hands with soap & water often (and thoroughly)
  • Stay home if you have a fever or are coughing
  • Increase sanitation
  • Avoid touching your face

 

The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 416 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 16,405 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across All 120 Kentucky Counties as of 07/03/20 (this includes 16,376 statewide plus 29 recently reported cases in Lake Cumberland not in the Governor’s Dept. for Public Health’s daily report). 

 
Regardless of the confirmed case count for any Lake Cumberland County, we believe COVID-19 to be widespread. The LCDHD is working to identify and contact all those with whom any positive case may have come into close contact.
