If you carefully review the numbers above Russell seems to be off by one. That is because a case was mis-assigned to Russell yesterday and was re-assigned appropriately today.
We are glad for no new deaths and for the decrease in hospitalizations. However, we did add 36 new cases today, several of which were from the nursing home outbreak in Pulaski.
Please help us slow the spread of COVID-19 by wearing your face covering, avoiding crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distancing when around others, increasing your hand hygiene, increasing your general sanitation, and by avoiding the touching of your face.
The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 1,963 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 48,100 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 48,032 statewide plus 68 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.
