The statewide testing positivity rate is 4.17%.

I failed to report yesterday that the Pulaski County death was an 82-year-old female.

 

The state released metrics today to help schools determine when in-person instruction should and shouldn’t occur. We have adjusted the daily calculations on our main COVID-19 page to include the figures the schools will need for their decision-making process.

 

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 2,444 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 57,342 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 57,282 statewide plus 60 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.
