Deaths: We are sad to report 3 new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 107 deaths resulting in a 1.53% mortality rate (about 1 in 65) among known cases. This compares with a 1.16% mortality rate at the state level, and a 2.14% 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 53 cases in the hospital. This is 5 more than yesterday. The most hospitalizations we have had at any one time was 54 on 11/07/2020. We have had a total of 453 hospitalizations resulting in a 6.46% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 15) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 6.1%. The latest state data shows that 71.29% of ICU beds and unreported % of ventilator capacity are being utilized.
Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 7,010 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 3.36% 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.
Released (Not contagious) Cases: We released 143 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 22; Casey: 9; Clinton: 20; Cumberland: 5; Green: 5; McCreary: 4; Pulaski: 37; Russell: 4; Taylor: 15; and, Wayne: 22. In all, we have released 82.4% of our total cases.
Active (Current) Cases: We added 16 more cases today than we released historic cases. Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 1126 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district’s 10 counties. On 11/20/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 1126.
Where Did Cases Visit Pior to Isolation: The most common places cases visited prior to isolation are (in descending order): Businesses, Long-term Care/Residential Facilities, Schools, and Family. Of our active cases, 14% can not be tied back to another known case (community-spread cases).

A close look at the numbers may appear that Russell and Adair are off. That is because one case from yesterday was moved from Russell to Adair.
We are sad to have to report 3 deaths today: a 97-year-old female from Clinton; a 90-year-old male from Pulaski; and a 81-year-old male from Casey. We continue to have a higher than state average mortality rate.
We agin have a record number of active cases, 1,126. All 10 of our counties remain solidly in the “red-critical” range of community-spread.
There is hope! It is within our power to impact the spread of COVID-19 before our medical infratructures become overwhelmed. Citizens, commuinty-leaders, church-leaders, let’s step-up or game. Please, let’s everyone 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 7,010 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 153,651 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 152,206 statewide plus 1,445 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.
