LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 6/30/2020 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department The Governor and the Commissioner of Public Health both reinforced the message today regarding how important it is for the public to wear a mask when out and about. Our best chance for slowing the spread is for everyone to wear a mask when out in public, to avoid crowds, to social distance (stay 6-feet from others), to wash their hands with soap and water often and thoroughly, to stay home if they have a fever or are coughing, to increase sanitation, and to avoid touching their faces. New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 7 today: Adair: 2; Casey: 1; Green: 1; Russell: 1; and, Taylor: 2. The new cases include:
Deaths: We are happy to report no new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 27 deaths resulting in a 7.2% mortality rate among known cases. Hospitalizations: We presently have 6 cases in the hospital. We have had a total of 70 hospitalizations resulting in an 18.7% hospitalization rate among known cases. Released (Recovered) Cases: We released 9 cases today from isolation (recovered). Released cases include, Adair: 3; McCreary: 2; Pulaski: 3; and, Wayne: 1. In all, we have released 74.9% of our total cases. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 374 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This has resulted in the health department reaching out to over 2632 individuals during our contact tracing. Active (Current) Cases: Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 67 active cases in our district across 9 of our 10 counties. Of those active cases, 12 are asymptomatic. With all the recent new cases in Taylor County, the turn-out was large today for mass drive-through testing. There were 239 tests performed. We appreciate the partnership with Taylor Regional Hospital, Campbellsville-Taylor County EMS, Taylor County Emergency Management, Campbellsville-Taylor County Fire and Rescue, Taylor County Schools, Campbellsville Police, Taylor County Sheriff's Office, Taylor County 911, the Mayor's Office and the County Judge-Executive's Office. The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 374 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 15,634 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across 119 Kentucky Counties as of 06/30/20 (this includes 15,624 statewide plus 10 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 to identify and contact all those with whom any positive case may have come into close contact. This story was posted on 2020-07-01 06:06:58
