Lake Cumberland District COVID-19 Case Count Increases by 63; 9 of 10 Counties in Red-Critical Range of Community Spread....

 
Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 7.17%.
 
Deaths: We are happy to report no new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 85 deaths resulting in a 1.64% mortality rate (about 1 in 61) among known cases. This compares with a 1.3% mortality rate at the state level, and a 2.39% morality rate at the national level.
 
Hospitalizations: We presently have 45 cases in the hospital. This is 2 more than yesterday. The most hospitalizations we have had at any one time was 45 on 11/08/2020. We have had a total of 371 hospitalizations resulting in a 7.17% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 14) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 6.49%. The latest state data shows that 71.33% of ICU beds and 28.32% of ventilator capacity are being utilized.
 
Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 5,171 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 2.48% 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.

Active (Current) Cases: We released 17 more cases today than we added new cases. Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 735 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district’s 10 counties. On 11/06/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 758.
 
Where are Cases Tied to: The most common areas to where we are seeing cases tied are (in descending order): Schools, Businesses, Family, and Medical Facilities.

We’re off to a quick start this week. Last Sunday we added 44 new cases, today 63. We also have the most ever hospitalized COVID-19 cases at 45. We are back to having nine of our district’s ten counties in the “red-critical” range: Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, Pulaski, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne. This leaves only McCreary in the “orange-accelerated” range.
 
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 5,171 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 121,614 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 120,838 statewide plus 776 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. We are also working with any community partner that requests assistance for prevention or post-exposure planning/response.
