COVID-19: one death, 33 cases added Thursday One death and 33 new cases - a large cluster of new cases at a Casey County Nursing Home. Our next biggest clusters are related to travel and religious services. We added a new cluster category today, "recreation". We are now seeing cases arise from things like cookouts, boat outings, ballgames, fair-type related events. By Amy Tomlinson, Lake Cumberland District Health Department Deaths: We are sad to report 1 new death today from Russell. We have experienced a total of 29 deaths resulting in an 5.6% mortality rate among known cases. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families and friends who have lost loved ones.

What an overwhelming day. We had one death and added 33 new cases. We have a large cluster of new cases at a Casey County Nursing Home (with several more to be reported tomorrow). Our next biggest cluster are related to travel and religious services. We added a new cluster category today, "recreation". We are now seeing cases arise from things like cookouts, boat outings, ballgames, fair-type related events. The Governor announced a mandate for face coverings today. While I don't like wearing a mask/bandana/cloth face covering anymore than anyone else, our public desperately needs to follow the guidance. With the spike in new cases, increased hospitalizations and mortality may not be far behind. We remind everyone that 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. The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 515 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 18,317 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across All 120 Kentucky Counties as of 07/09/20 (this includes 18,245 statewide plus 72 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. https://www.lcdhd.org/2020/07/09/public-information-brief-7-09-20/ This story was posted on 2020-07-10 08:43:03
