This was our third highest days of new cases since the onset of the outbreak. Our hospitalizations have returned to 12.

 

After several days of significant facial covering compliance, it seems several businesses and citizens are once again becoming complacent. Our citizens can be our biggest asset in slowing the spread of this disease. Please don’t forget the guidance. Everyone should continue to wear their face coverings, avoid crowds as much as possible, social distance, wash their hands frequently, increase sanitation, and avoid the touching of their faces.

 

The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 1,165 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 30,668 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of 08/03/20 (this includes 30,508 statewide plus 160 recently reported cases in Lake Cumberland not in the Governor’s/Department 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 tirelessly, including nights and weekends, to identify and contact all those with whom any positive case may have come into close contact, and to follow-up daily with positive cases.


Additionally, we are striving diligently to follow-up on business-related complaints regarding noncompliance with the Governor’s Executive Orders.
