We must announce one new COVID-19 related death today, a 74-year-old male from Taylor. We also have one additional hospitalized case over yesterday (from 9 to 10). On the upside, we released 14 more cases today than we added new ones.

 

I just heard in the Governor’s Brief where he is recommending schools be postponed to in-person classes until the end of September. How many of our local school districts will follow this guidance, we will find out over the next few days. Hopefully, a vaccine will be developed by early next calendar year and we can transition from a containment to a vaccination strategy. Like everyone else, we are anxious for things to return to normal.

 

Until then, please help us slow the spread of COVID-19 by wearing your face covering, avoiding crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distancing when around others, increasing your hand hygiene, increasing your general sanitation, and by avoiding the touching of your face?

 

The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 1,344 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 35,409 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of 08/10/20 (this includes 36,254 statewide plus 155 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.
