This is defined as a 7-day average incidence rate of 25 or more new cases per day per 100,000 population. According to the new state guidance, when this level of community spread occurs, it is highly recommended that all in-person K-12 instruction cease immediately along with all extra-curricular school activities including all sports and sports related practices. According to the guidance, these activities can resume when the 7-day incidence rate drops to 10 or less per 100,000. Each local school board has the authority to either follow or reject this guidance; therefore, any related concerns should be directed to the appropriate school board/superintendent and not the local health department. National data shows that states with more “restrictions” have fewer new cases, and lower mortality and hospitalization rates than states with fewer “restrictions”. As far as “restrictions” go, Kentucky is in the middle of the pack compared to other states around our nation. The most important things that each of us can do to help slow the spread of COVID-19 until there is a vaccine it to wear our face coverings, avoid crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distance when around others, increase our hand hygiene, increase our general sanitation, and avoiding the touching of our faces. The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 2,477 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 58,056 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 58,000 statewide plus 56 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. https://www.lcdhd.org/2020/09/15/public-information-brief-9-15-20/ This story was posted on 2020-09-16 00:56:05
