15 NEW COVID-19 CASES IN LAKE CUMBERLAND DISTRICT; NO NEW DEATHS...

 

Deaths: We are happy to report no new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 63 deaths resulting in a 2.9% mortality rate among known cases.

 

Hospitalizations: We presently have 17 cases in the hospital. We have had a total of 200 hospitalizations resulting in a 9.1% hospitalization rate among known cases. The latest state data shows that 67% of ICU beds and 26% of ventilator capacity are being utilized.

 

Released (Not contagious) Cases: We released 51 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 1; Casey: 1; Clinton: 2; Green: 9; McCreary: 5; Pulaski: 28; Russell: 1; and, Taylor: 4. In all, we have released 81.5% of our total cases.

 

Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 2,201 cases since the onset of the outbreak.

 

Active (Current) Cases: Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 345 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district’s 10 counties.

 

New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 15 today: Casey: 3; Clinton: 1; Green: 3; Pulaski: 4; Russell: 1; Taylor: 2; and, Wayne: 1. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.017. This means our total case count is projected to double every 42.11 days.

 

New cases include:

  • Casey: A 37-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Casey: A 78-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Casey: A 23-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Clinton: A 70-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Green: A 11-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic

  • Taylor: A 41-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Wayne: A 37-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic

 

One of our COVID-19 cases from Pulaski did die today, but we are unsure if COVID-19 will be listed as the primary cause of death. We will pass this along as soon as we find out.

 

We are very happy to report that we released 36 more cases today than we added new cases. Also, our hospitalizations decreased by 1 to 17. Our growth rate is slowing. Our current trajectory predicts now that our total cases will double at just over every 42 days.

 

Please, let’s all continue to do our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by wearing our face coverings, avoiding crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distancing when around others, increasing our hand hygiene, increasing our general sanitation, and by avoiding the touching of our faces.

 

The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 2,201 Cumulative Confirmed and there have been 52,808 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 52,774 statewide plus 34 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.
