Our current new case growth rate is: 1.015. This means our total case count is projected to double every 48.02 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 08/26/2020 when we added 75 cases. By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department We are sad to report 1 new death today from Adair County, a 68 year old male. We have experienced a total of 77 deaths resulting in a 2.2% mortality rate among known cases. This compares with a 1.54% mortality rate at the state level, and a 2.73% 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 13 cases in the hospital. This is 1 less than yesterday. The most hospitalizations we have had at any one time was 33 on 09/02/2020. We have had a total of 276 hospitalizations resulting in a 7.89% hospitalization rate among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 7.73%. The latest state data shows that 73.41% of ICU beds and 27.35% of ventilator capacity are being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 3,498 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 1.67% 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 54 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 8; Casey: 1; Clinton: 11; Green: 3; Pulaski: 13; Russell: 5; Taylor: 8; and, Wayne: 5. In all, we have released 86.5% of our total cases. Active (Current) Cases: We added 4 more cases today than we released historic cases. Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 394 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 where we are seeing cases tied are (in descending order): Schools, Businesses, Medical Facilities, and Family.

We are seeing in Lake Cumberland over 1 in every 50 people who contract COVID-19 dying from it. While we are still seeing high case numbers, we are glad Green dropped out of the "Red-Critical" range of community-spread today. Nevertheless, we still have 4 counties in the "Red-Critical" range of community-spread. We now expect to see our total number of cases double every 48 days. If this holds, we will be at nearly 7,000 cases in the next 6 to 8 weeks. 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 3,498 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 84,311 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 84,195 statewide plus 116 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/2020/10/15/public-information-brief-10-15-20/ This story was posted on 2020-10-16 11:29:56
