COVID-19 update: mortality rate high by comparison

From Amy Tomlinson - Lake Cumberland District Health Department

Reported Monday evening, May 11, 2020 on the ten-counties in the district -- Today we are reporting three new cases in Lake Cumberland, two Pulaski County residents, and one Russell County resident. We are reporting no new deaths. We note that 73% of our confirmed cases have now recovered. The mortality rate for our area is high compared to state and world rates at 9.9%.



The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 192 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 6,679 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across 113 Kentucky Counties as of 05/11/20 (this includes 6,677 statewide plus 2 recently reported cases in Lake Cumberland not in the Governor's daily report). Regardless of the confirmed case count for any Lake Cumberland County, we believe COVID-19 to be widespread. LCDHD is working to identify and contact all those with whom any positive case may have come into close contact.

We are working hard right now encouraging local testing sites to register on the KY COVID-19 webpage so the public can have a consistent location to find testing site information. We are also reviewing the Governor's business reopening guidance and fielding questions from local businesses regarding such.
