Public Notice: COVID-19 highest day record hit Friday By Gale B. Cowan Adair County Judge Executive I have had some inquiries about the COVID-19 numbers being reported each day by the Lake Cumberland District Health Department. I want everyone to know that I pass those questions on to our Local and District Health Department staff if it is something I can't answer myself. One of the main questions or comments I get is regarding the number of cases in the hospital. While talking this morning with health department staff, the best way to answer that is, Look at the numbers reported and just know, it is probably worse. Unless someone is hospitalized at the onset of testing positive, the health department doesn't know if someone goes to the hospital. Hospitals asked months ago that they not call daily to see who is in the hospital. That takes nurses time away from the patients. With hospitals so full and also short staffed, they need to spend every minute possible taking care of their patients. Health Departments are back to rehiring those that assisted last year and earlier this year with contacting patients and are still running 1-2 days behind on working cases.
