LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 2/16/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 6.58%. We are happy to report no new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 346 deaths resulting in a 1.76% mortality rate (about 1 in 57) among known cases. This compares with a 1.11% mortality rate at the state level, and a 1.76% mortality rate at the national level. Hospitalizations: We presently have 56 cases in the hospital. This is 1 more than what we reported yesterday. We have had a total of 1,088 hospitalizations resulting in a 5.54% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 18) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 4.65%. The latest data shows that 91.11% of Lake Cumberland's ICU beds are filled, and 27.42% of ventilator capacity is being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 19,636 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 9.4% 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 94 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 3; Casey: 6; Clinton: 4; Cumberland: 1; Green: 10; McCreary: 13; Pulaski: 22; Russell: 15; Taylor: 14; and, Wayne: 6. In all, we have released 95.2% of our total cases. Active (Current) Cases: Taking into account deaths and releases, our active cases decreased by 40 more than the new cases we added today. This leaves us with 591 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, 1,342. Where Did Cases Visit Prior to Isolation: The most common places cases visited prior to isolation are (in descending order): Businesses, Family, Schools, and Jail/Prison Related. Of our active cases, 13% can not be tied back to another known case (community-spread cases). New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 54 today: Adair: 2; Casey: 5; Green: 6; Pulaski: 9; Russell: 8; Taylor: 23; and, Wayne: 1. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.004. This means our total case count is projected to double every 157.86 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 19,636 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 391,455 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 390,762 statewide plus 693 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. https://www.lcdhd.org/info-tools/health-assessments-and-statistics/health_report_card/covid19-state-wide-outbreak-2/covid-19-media-public/daily-brief.
