1 NEW COVID-19 DEATH & 27 NEW CASES IN LAKE CUMBERLAND DISTRICT


Deaths: We are sad to report 1 new death today from Taylor. We have experienced a total of 64 deaths resulting in a 2.9% mortality rate among known cases. This compares with a 1.9% mortality rate at the state level, and a 3% morality rate at the national level. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families and friends who have lost loved ones.

 

Hospitalizations: We presently have 20 cases in the hospital. This is 1 more than yesterday. The most hospitalizations we have had at any one time was 33. We have had a total of 204 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 50 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 4; Casey: 4; Clinton: 1; Cumberland: 1; Green: 12; McCreary: 3; Pulaski: 5; Russell: 13; Taylor: 5; and, Wayne: 2. In all, we have released 83% of our total cases.

 

Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 2,242 cases since the onset of the outbreak.

 

Active (Current) Cases: We released 24 more cases today than we added new cases. Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 318 active cases in our district across 9 of our district’s 10 counties.

 

Where are Cases Tied to: The most common areas to which where we are seeing cases tied are (in descending order): Long-term Care/Residential Facilities, Schools, Businesses, and Places of Worship.

 

New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 27 today: Adair: 5; Casey: 1; Clinton: 2; Green: 2; McCreary: 4; Pulaski: 6; Russell: 6; and, Taylor: 1. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.015. This means our total case count is projected to double every 47.29 days.

 

The new cases include:

  • Adair: A 30-year-old male who is self-isolated, asymptomatic
  • Adair: A 3-year-old male who is self-isolated, asymptomatic
  • Adair: A 36-year-old female who is self-isolated, asymptomatic
  • Adair: A 21-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Adair: A 63-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Casey: A 32-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic

  • Green: A 16-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic

  • Russell: A 50-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Russell: A 38-year-old female who is self-isolated, asymptomatic
  • Russell: A 9-year-old female who is released, asymptomatic
  • Russell: A 19-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic
  • Taylor: A 18-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic

 

A close look at the data above would suggest our Pulaski and Russell numbers are off. This is because a case that was mis-assigned to Russell yesterday was moved to Pulaski today.

 

The death we report is a 76-year-old female from Taylor who wasn’t a nursing home case.

We are happy to report today that for the first time in several weeks, we have one county with no active cases, Cumberland.

 

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 2,242 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 53,369 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 53,319 statewide plus 50 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.
