COVID-19 Update: one more death in Adair

From Amy Tomlinson,
Lake Cumberland District Health Department

8:15pmCT Wednesday, May 13, 2020 -- Today has been difficult. We report one new death, a nursing home resident from Adair County. This brings our total deaths to twenty. Our mortality rate at 10.15% is high compared to national and state averages.

We also announce four new COVID-19 cases, one 83-year-old female from Adair, a nursing home resident; one 52-year-old female from Casey; and, two Pulaski residents, a 25-year-old male and a 26-year-old female. We did release two from isolation (recovered). This means 156 people or 79% of our total cumulative positive cases have recovered.



The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 197 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 7,083 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across 113 Kentucky Counties as of 05/13/20 (this includes 7,080 statewide plus 3 recently reported cases in Lake Cumberland not in the Governor's daily report). Regardless of the confirmed case count for any Lake Cumberland County, we believe COVID-19 to be widespread. LCDHD is working to identify and contact all those with whom any positive case may have come into close contact.

Today we conducted our weekly media/public update and broadcast it live via our YouTube channel at www.youtube.com/c/LCDHDPublicHealth. We are happy to report that several new community partners are coming on as COVID-19 testing locations, and several counties have either already conducted, are in the process of conducting, or are planning on conducting drive-through testing sites. We continue to encourage all local partners who are providing COVID-19 testing to register on the kycovid19.ky.gov webpage so the public can have a consistent location to find testing site information.

We continue to review the Governor's business reopening guidance and to field questions from local businesses regarding such.

COVID-19 Update: Adair continues with far more cases



2020-05-13 - Frankfort, KY - Photo from state website.
As the update is posted this evening, Wednesday, May 13, 2020, Adair County continues to have far more cases and deaths than any surrounding county or any of the ten counties in the Lake Cumberland District Health Department of which Adair is part. The majority of the cases come from the nursing home which has been closed to visitors since March, however, as essential workers must come and go, it is possible for the virus to spread from there into the community at large requiring extra care to be taken by all leaders in determining reopening procedures.
