LCDHD: Nine new cases in Adair County By Amy Tomlinson We are still seeing large numbers of new cases so please, let's all continue to do our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by wearing our face coverings, avoiding crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distancing when around others, increasing our hand hygiene, increasing our general sanitation, and by avoiding the touching of our faces. New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 41 on Thursday, October 8, 2020: Adair: 9; Clinton: 8; Green: 3; McCreary: 4; Pulaski: 9; Russell: 2; and, Taylor: 6. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.011. This means our total case count is projected to double every 62.53 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 08/26/2020 when we added 75 cases. Today's new cases include:
Hospitalizations: We presently have 20 cases in the hospital. This is equal to yesterday. The most hospitalizations we have had at any one time was 33 on 09/02/2020. We have had a total of 263 hospitalizations resulting in a 8.32% hospitalization rate among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 7.51%. The latest state data shows that 67.1% of ICU beds and 25.6% of ventilator capacity are being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 3,162 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 1.51% of our total population have been a confirmed case. However, we do not know how many additional people may have had COVID-19 and were either asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and never tested. Released (Not contagious) Cases: We released 36 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 3; Casey: 1; Cumberland: 3; Green: 2; McCreary: 10; Pulaski: 6; Russell: 3; Taylor: 4; and, Wayne: 4. In all, we have released 88.3% of our total cases. Active (Current) Cases: We added 5 more cases today than we released historic cases. Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 299 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district's 10 counties. On 09/02/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 411. Where are Cases Tied to: The most common areas to which where we are seeing cases tied are (in descending order): Businesses, Schools, Family, and Places of Worship. The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 3,162 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 77,554 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 77,455 statewide plus 99 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. We are also working with any community partner that requests assistance for prevention or post-exposure planning/response. This story was posted on 2020-10-09 06:42:04
