LCDHD: Adair drops out of red (slightly)
LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 2/5/2021
By Amy Tomlinson
Lake Cumberland District Health Department
Starting next week, the health departments will be closed on Sundays. As long as we can keep up with case investigations, contact tracing, releases, and vaccination clinics, we are going to make an effort to give our staff consistently one day off per week. This means there will not be a Daily Brief on Sundays.
A close look at our date will appear the Casey and Clinton's numbers are off today. This is because we moved one case from Casey to Clinton today.
We are glad to report no new deaths today. We did, however, have just a few more new cases today than last Friday, so our district seven-day average incidence rate did go up slightly. Nine of our district's 10 counties remain in the "red-critical" range of community-spread.
Adair is in the "orange-accelerated" range. This is the first time in several weeks we have had any county drop out of the "red-critical" range.
Until the vaccine is widely available, let's all 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.
We have been notified that our district will receive 4,000 doses of 1st/prime dose COVID-19 vaccine spread out over the next 3 weeks for administration by our local health departments. This will be for people in Phase 1a or 1b including those 70 and older. We will take appointments by phone beginning on Monday, February 8th at 9:00 am EST/8:00 am CST. Do not call early. Do not leave your information on our answering machine. We are not keeping waiting lists. We do expect to fill all 4,000 apointment slots within the first few hours. We plan to have 30 phone lines open and 15 to 20 operators. However, we know the demand will be greater than the supply. We apologize in advance for not being able to accommodate everyone.
When our scheduling call center goes live next Monday morning, these are the numbers to dial:
- Adair: 270-384-2286
- Casey: 606-787-6911
- Clinton: 606-387-5711
- Cumberland: 270-864-2206
- Green: 270-932-4341
- McCreary: 606-376-2412
- Pulaski: 606-679-4416
- Russell: 270-343-2181
- Taylor: 270-465-4191
- Wayne: 606-348-9349
Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 8.16%.
Deaths: We are pleased to report no new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 332 deaths resulting in a 1.78% mortality rate (about 1 in 56) among known cases. This compares with a 1.06% mortality rate at the state level, and a 1.71% mortality rate at the national level.
Hospitalizations: We presently have 52 cases in the hospital. This is 3 less than what we reported yesterday. We have had a total of 1,048 hospitalizations resulting in a 5.62% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 18) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 4.62%. The latest data shows that 95.56% of Lake Cumberland's ICU beds are filled, and 26.67% of ventilator capacity is being utilized.
Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 18,650 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 8.93% 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 128 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 8; Casey: 6; Clinton: 3; Cumberland: 9; Green: 7; McCreary: 15; Pulaski: 39; Russell: 6; Taylor: 21; and, Wayne: 14. In all, we have released 93.9% of our total cases.
Active (Current) Cases: Taking into account deaths and releases, we decreased the same number of cases today as we added new cases. This leaves us with 800 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district's 10 counties. On 12/10/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 1,341.
Where Did Cases Visit Prior to Isolation: The most common places cases visited prior to isolation are (in descending order): Businesses, Family, Schools, and Medical Facilities. We have had 67 cases tied to Christmas gaterings, 43 tied to Thanksgiving gatherings, and 15 tied to New Year's events. Of our active cases, 8% can not be tied back to another known case (community-spread cases).
New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 128 today: Casey: 10; Clinton: 11; Green: 6; McCreary: 18; Pulaski: 34; Russell: 19; Taylor: 22; and, Wayne: 8. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.006. This means our total case count is projected to double every 110.23 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 12/30/2020 when we added 301 cases. Today's new cases include:

The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 18,650 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 375,048 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 374,268 statewide plus 780 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 with positive cases when ready to be released. Additionally, we are striving diligently to follow-up on business-related complaints regarding noncompliance with the COVID-19 guidance. We are also working with any community partner that requests assistance for prevention or post-exposure planning/response. Finally, we are working with all community partners regarding vaccination planning.
For more statistics and local data go to LCDHD COVID-19 Information.
COVID-19 Vaccination Status
The Governor recently announced additional sites where vaccines for Phase 1a and 1b, including 70 and older, have opened. More sites will be opening in the weeks to come. You may call 1-855-598-2246, or visit vaccine.ky.gov to find out if you are eligible and where you can receive the vaccine. Remember, supplies are still limited, it may take several weeks to secure an appointment.
Locally, through a contract with the federal government, Walgreens and CVS pharmacies continue to vaccinate the long-term care facilities and personal care homes -- residents and staff.
Five hundred prime/1st dose vaccines are coming into the Lake Cumberland Regional Hospital each week for folks in the 1a and 1b group, including those 70 and older. Their COVID-19 hotline phone number 1-844-675-3390.
The Lake Cumberland District Health Department will be receiving more vaccine beginning next week. We will begin taking appointments on Monday, February 8th at 9:00 am EST/8:00 am CST. Please do not call early, and do not leave your information on our answering machine. We are not keeping any sort of waiting list.
