Health Department holds meetings about COVID-19

The Lake Cumberland District Health Department held an afternoon update Thursday, March 12, 2020 to share information for the public about the status of COVID-19 in this area. Ten counties were represented in the tele-meeting with Jelaine Harlow as local host in Columbia. All in attendance at the meetings had the ability to ask questions of officials.

Two imortant things to take away:

- There are no cases, zero cases, of COVID-19 diagnosed in any of our ten county area.

- A "handful of people" are known to have traveled into areas where there could have been exposure and they are being monitored for symptoms.

Health officials continue to stress:

- If you feel sick, stay home except to get medical care,

- Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. The virus is spread through droplets where someone has openly sneezed or coughed in close proximity to another individual, or over food that might be served.

- Wash your hands thoroughly or use hand sanitizer with 60% or more alcohol.
