ACJE: Thoughts and Concerns on the Coronavirus By Gale B. Cowan Adair Co. Judge Executive As County Judge Executive here in Adair County the past few days have been a whirlwind of meetings, conference calls, webinars, phone calls, and emails on the coronavirus pandemic. We have talked with local citizens, elected officials, health departments, CDC, Kentucky Emergency management, School personnel, hospital personnel, and the Governor. I think everyone is working together in our state and I want to thank them for that. Decisions are being made that have made people upset and I totally understand that. But in the end, tough decisions must be made. For the most of us here in Adair County the threat of the COVID-19 virus could be minimal. If you are young and healthy and you contracted the virus, you would more than likely bounce back with barely any time down. But as an elected official it's my job to think of the entire population of our county. I must think about the people with immune disorders, elderly parents and grandparents, small kids with rare disease, and cancer patients that treatment has wiped out their immune system. Currently, Adair County has no cases we are aware of. I'm asking everyone to do your part to help slow the spread of the disease and help with the panic over our country. Don't always believe what you read on Facebook. Check the facts yourself. The state of Kentucky has a website devoted totally to COVID-19 as well as a hotline to call if you have any questions. The website is www.kycovid19.ky.gov, and the hotline to call if you have any questions is 1-800-722-5725. I, The Fiscal Court, Emergency Management Director Mike Keltner and all our local elected officials and emergency personnel will continue to stay up to date on the development of the Coronavirus. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call my office at 270-384-4703 or call the hotline or visit the website provided by the State of Kentucky. -- Gale B. Cowan, Adair Co. Judge Executive This story was posted on 2020-03-13 11:03:26
