After a few days of new cases in the twenties, we are now back in the thirties. We experienced 35 new cases today – our third highest day of growth since the onset of the outbreak.
We are sad to report the two new deaths, a 75-year-old male from Casey and a 92-year-old female from Green who passed a few days ago. We are also back up to 11 hospitalizations for the area. With the high rate of new cases, our high mortality rate, and the increase in number of hospitalized, won’t you do your part to slow the spread? It extremely important you do everything you can to reduce your risk and the risk for those you love. Everyone should continue wearing their face coverings, avoiding crowds, social distancing, washing their hands frequently, increasing sanitation, and avoiding the touching of their faces.
The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 1,001 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 28,848 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of 07/29/20 (this includes 28,727 statewide plus 121 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.
