COVID-19 update: Adair spike is growing, Taylor now red, one dies in Russell Monday night report, October 12, 2020 -- 13 new cases in Adair County which continues to spike. Adair numbers started spiking last Tuesday, October 6th at 14 cases, Wednesday 7, Thursday 9, Friday 9, Saturday 13, Sunday 5 and today 13 = 70 new cases diagnosed in one week. Taylor County is now also designated a red zone due to their numbers of cases diagnosed. And, sadly, a 58-year-old Russell County man died from COVID-19 today. By Amy Tomlinson, LCDHD Deaths: We are sad to report 1 new death today from Russell. We have experienced a total of 75 deaths resulting in a 2.25% mortality rate among known cases. This compares with a 1.55% mortality rate at the state level, and a 2.74% morality 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 15 cases in the hospital. This is equal to yesterday. The most hospitalizations we have had at any one time was 33 on 09/02/2020. We have had a total of 269 hospitalizations resulting in a 8.08% hospitalization rate among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 7.56%. The latest state data shows that 71.2% of ICU beds and 28.9% of ventilator capacity are being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 3,328 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 1.59% 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 37 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 10; Clinton: 3; Green: 3; McCreary: 5; Pulaski: 11; Russell: 2; and, Wayne: 3. In all, we have released 87.4% of our total cases. Active (Current) Cases: We added 11 more cases today than we released historic cases. Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 344 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district's 10 counties. On 09/02/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 411. Where are Cases Tied to: The most common areas to which where we are seeing cases tied are (in descending order): Businesses, Schools, Places of Worship, and Family. New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 49 today: Adair: 13; Casey: 2; Clinton: 1; Green: 1; McCreary: 1; Pulaski: 10; Russell: 6; Taylor: 10; and, Wayne: 5. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.013. This means our total case count is projected to double every 53.21 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 08/26/2020 when we added 75 cases. Today's new cases include: Adair: A 62-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Adair: A 44-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Adair: A 62-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Adair: A 59-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Adair: A 15-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Adair: A 14-year-old male who is self-isolated, asymptomatic Adair: A 18-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Adair: A 61-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Adair: A 38-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Adair: A 44-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Adair: A 28-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Adair: A 59-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Casey: A 17-year-old female who is self-isolated, asymptomatic Casey: A 46-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Clinton: A 40-year-old male who is released, unknown Green: A 72-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic McCreary: A 50-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Pulaski: A 72-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Pulaski: A 34-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Pulaski: A 73-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Pulaski: A 59-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Pulaski: A 28-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Pulaski: A 71-year-old male who is released, 10/11/20 Pulaski: A 45-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Pulaski: A 35-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Pulaski: A 38-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Pulaski: A 8-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Russell: A 41-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Russell: A 37-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Russell: A 18-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Russell: A 26-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Russell: A 44-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Russell: A 18-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Russell: A 64-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Taylor: A 19-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Taylor: A 37-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Taylor: A 20-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Taylor: A 14-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Taylor: A 28-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Taylor: A 20-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Taylor: A 21-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Taylor: A 48-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Taylor: A 70-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Taylor: A 22-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Wayne: A 23-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Wayne: A 63-year-old female who is self-isolated, asymptomatic Wayne: A 48-year-old female who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Wayne: A 36-year-old male who is self-isolated, still symptomatic Wayne: A 59-year-old female who is self-isolated, asymptomatic (A close review of the data looks like the Adair and Russell numbers are off. This is because we re-assigned one case from yesterday from Russell to Adair.) The death report today is a 58-year-old male from Russell. Also, cases are sharply increasing. Please, let's all continue to 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 3,328 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 81,044 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 80,930 statewide plus 114 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 daily with positive cases. 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. https://www.lcdhd.org/2020/10/12/public-information-brief-10-12-20/ This story was posted on 2020-10-12 22:03:48
