Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 4.52%.

 

Deaths: We are happy to report no new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 69 deaths resulting in a 2.6% mortality rate among known cases. This compares with a 1.8% mortality rate at the state level, and a 3.1% morality rate at the national level.

We have had a total of 223 hospitalizations resulting in a 8.4% hospitalization rate among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 8.1%. The latest state data shows that 67% of ICU beds and 24% of ventilator capacity are being utilized.

 

Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 2,648 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 1.27% of our total population have been a confirmed case. However, we do not know how many additional people may have had COVID-19 and were either asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and never tested.

For the last 3 days, our new cases have been on an upward trajectory. We did release a few more cases today, however, than we added new cases. Also, we have no counties presently in the “red-critical” range of community spread. If we have a many more high new case days though, this is all likely to change.

 

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 2,648 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 62,795 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 62,731 statewide plus 64 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.
