DPH issues advisory for recent travelers By Susan Dunlap Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) today issued an advisory for Kentuckians who have traveled to states reporting high numbers of COVID-19. The advisory recommends a 14-day self-quarantine for travelers who went to any of eight states reporting positive testing rate equal to or greater than 15% for COVID-19 testing. The advisory also includes one state quickly approaching a positive testing rate of 15% and one U.S. Territory. States were identified from data reported to Johns Hopkins University of Medicine Coronavirus Resource Center. They include Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Nevada, South Carolina, and Texas. The rate of positive patient tests in Mississippi is nearing 15%, so travelers to Mississippi are also asked to voluntarily self-isolate for 14 days. Puerto Rico is the U.S. Territory that has been added. Dr. Steven Stack, Kentucky's Public Health Commissioner, stressed that this is a recommendation and not a mandate. "I am appealing to Kentuckians who have traveled to these states or to Puerto Rico to consider the interest of your health and the health of others. Please, if you have been to any of these places, stay home for 14 days, starting from the date you left that location."

ACSO: Traffic stop leads to drug arrest By Sheriff Josh Brockman Adair County Sheriff's Office An Adair County man has been charged with trafficking in methamphetamine by the Adair County Sheriff's Office after a large quantity of methamphetamine was located after a traffic stop. On Monday, July 20, 2020, at 08:22amCT, Chief Deputy Justin Cross initiated a traffic stop on Tutt Street in the limits of Columbia on a 2001 GMC.
