COVID-19: two more deaths, reports of non-compliance By Amy Tomlinson, Lake Cumberland District Health Department It has been our hardest day in a while. We had two new deaths, both in Adair, both nursing home residents: an 82-year-old male and a 76-year-old female. The 82-year-old male had been previously released from isolation, meaning they were free of the virus, but ultimately succumbed to lasting complications caused by the virus. We also report two new cases: a 67-year-old female from Adair and a 66 year-old-male from Pulaski. We released four from isolation today. This means 164 or 79% of our cases have recovered from the virus. On Sunday evening a new case reported is a 59-year-old male from the nursing home in Adair County. We are receiving many reports of people not complying with safety guidelines. Some mistakenly equate the fact that things are starting to reopen with the assumption that the situation is now safe. Some think the Coronavirus situation was overblown. Some are just restless and ready for things to be normal. For those interested in protecting the safety of themselves and their families, remember, avoiding crowds as much as possible is your best way to reduce your risk. Add to this the washing of your hands with soap and water often and thoroughly, the wearing of a mask when out in public, staying home if you have a fever or are coughing, the increasing of sanitation, and the avoidance of touching your face, to further reduce your risk. https://www.lcdhd.org/2020/05/17/public-information-brief-5-17-20/ This story was posted on 2020-05-19 00:01:15
