5 MORE CORONAVIRUS DEATHS IN LAKE CUMB. DISTRICT....

 

Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 8.41%.

 

Deaths: We regret we must report 5 new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 249 deaths resulting in a 1.86% mortality rate (about 1 in 54) among known cases. This compares with a 0.99% mortality rate at the state level, and a 1.73% mortality 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 60 cases* in the hospital. This is 12 less than what we reported yesterday. We have had a total of 787 hospitalizations resulting in a 5.86% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 17) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 5.06%. The latest data shows that an unreported % of Lake Cumberland’s ICU beds are filled, and an unreported % of ventilator capicity is being utilized. (*This number is an estimation. Due to the high numbers, we only check with the hospitals on Fridays now. Therefore, the best time to see the most accurate hospital data will be in the Saturday News Brief.)

 

Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 13,421 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 6.42% 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 169 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 9; Casey: 8; Clinton: 15; Cumberland: 4; Green: 6; McCreary: 23; Pulaski: 57; Russell: 4; Taylor: 25; and, Wayne: 18. In all, we have released 91.1% of our total cases.

 

Active (Current) Cases: We added 77 more cases today than we had deceased and/or released cases. This leaves us with 941 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district’s 10 counties. On 12/10/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 1,339.

 

Where Did Cases Visit Prior 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, 17% can not be tied back to another known case (community-spread cases).

 

New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 251 today: Adair: 10; Casey: 9; Clinton: 20; Cumberland: 7; Green: 15; McCreary: 22; Pulaski: 79; Russell: 19; Taylor: 30; and, Wayne: 40. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.01. This means our total case count is projected to double every 70.85 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 12/17/2020 when we added 291 cases.

The deaths we report today are: a 64-year-old male from Adair who had been hospitalized; a 76-year-old male from Clinton who had been hospitalized; a 51-year-old male inmate from McCreary who had been hospitalized; a 68-year-old female from McCreary who had been hospitalized; and a 86-year-old long-term care resident from Russell who had been hospitalized.

 

We are still experiencing high numbers of new cases, and high numbers of deaths and hospitalizations. So, 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 13,421 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 262,219 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 261,492 statewide plus 727 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 with positive cases when ready to be released. 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. Finally, we are working with all community partners regarding vaccination planning.
