Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 8,036 cases since the onset of the outbreak.

Active (Current) Cases: We released 25 more cases today than we added new cases. Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 1127 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district’s 10 counties. On 11/26/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 1150.
Where Did Cases Visit Prior to Isolation: The most common places cases visited prior to isolation are (in descending order): Long-term Care/Residential Facilities, Businesses, Schools, and Medical Facilities. Of our active cases, 11% can not be tied back to another known case (community-spread cases).

A close look at our numbers may appear that out total cases are off by 1 today. This is because we removed an earlier Clinton case that did not meet criteria.
We are presently experiencing continued high numbers of COVID-19 new cases. At our present growth rate, our total case count is expected to double in just over 35 days. We also have a record number of hospitalized cases at the moment.
There is hope! It is within our power to impact the spread of COVID-19. Please, let’s all 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 8,036 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 173,582 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 171,755 statewide plus 1,827 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.
