LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 10/31/2020 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department Eight of our ten counties are now in the "red-critical" range: Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, McCreary, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne. The other 2 are in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread, Green, and Pulaski. This was another record-breaking week. This was the highest week of new cases for both the state and Lake Cumberland. Last week we added 440 new cases, this week 444. While this week was one of the sharpest increases in new cases for the state, our numbers are much closer to last week's. So that much, at least, is good. We do have 79 more active cases this week compared to last Saturday. We are also still at our highest number of hospitalized cases, 41. We experienced 1 death this week. Won't you please, do your 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? Active (Current) Cases: We released 2 more cases today than we added new cases. Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 583 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district's 10 counties. On 10/30/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 585. Where are cases spreading: The most common areas to where we are seeing cases tied are (in descending order): Schools, Businesses, Family, and Places of Worship. New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 40 today: Adair: 10; Casey: 5; Clinton: 2; Green: 1; McCreary: 12; Pulaski: 2; Taylor: 6; and, Wayne: 2. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.015. This means our total case count is projected to double every 46.41 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 10/28/2020 when we added 91 cases. Today's new cases include:
Deaths: We are pleased to report no new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 81 deaths resulting in a 1.81% mortality rate (about 1 in 55) among known cases. This compares with a 1.39% mortality rate at the state level, and a 2.53% morality rate at the national level. Hospitalizations: We presently have 41 cases in the hospital. This is equal to yesterday. The most hospitalizations we have had at any one time was 41 on 10/31/2020. We have had a total of 344 hospitalizations resulting in a 7.69% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 13) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 6.72%. The latest state data shows that 68.88% of ICU beds and 29.32% of ventilator capacity are being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 4,476 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 2.14% 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 42 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 4; Clinton: 3; Cumberland: 2; Green: 4; McCreary: 8; Pulaski: 3; Russell: 8; Taylor: 8; and, Wayne: 2. In all, we have released 85.2% of our total cases. The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 4,476 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 107,595 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 107,219 statewide plus 376 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 2020-11-01 06:20:28
