LCDHD Public Information Brief: March 23, 2020 The Lake Cumberland District Health Department (LCDHD) at the current time has two positive Coronavirus-19 (COVID-19) cases in Pulaski County, one presumptive positive case in Pulaski County we are treating as a positive case, and one case that is under investigation in Pulaski County but that we are treating as a positive case. One of the positive cases has been cleared, and the other two positive cases are currently being monitored for fever and respiratory symptoms. None of the cases are hospitalized and are self-isolated. LCDHD is working with the Kentucky Department for Public Health to identify and contact all those who may have come in contact with them. The virus is thought to spread mainly from person-to-person:
Personal Prevention Measures:
Community Prevention Measures:
What to do if you feel ill: If you have developed a fever or respiratory symptoms and believe you have had exposure to a known case or traveled to an area with community spread, isolate yourself from others in your home and call your healthcare provider or local health department to describe your symptoms and any recent travel before you go to the healthcare facility. If you feel ill enough to need a doctor's care, please call your healthcare provider prior to showing up at their office. If you want to be tested for the Covid-19, call the provider to see if they are offering testing prior to going to their office. All providers will screen you for symptoms prior to deciding to do further testing. Many providers will require a flu and/or strep test prior to testing for Covid-19. No testing is being done on non-symptomatic patients. If you feel you need emergency treatment, please call the hospital prior to arrival to alert them to your symptoms. Stay home when you are sick. Do not leave home until you have been fever free for at least 72 hours without any fever reducing medication, your other symptoms have improved, AND at least 7 days have passed since your symptoms first appeared.
