LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 4/1/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department Starting next Monday, COVID-19 vaccinations will be opened to everyone! Let's finish strong and everyone get the vaccine as soon as you can. Today we added more cases than for the same period last week, so our 7-day-average incidence rate went up. Keep in mind, some of our 7-day-incidence data will be skewed over the next few days as we are reconciling our data against the state data. Our 7-day incidence chart is showing 4 counties in the "yellow-community-spread" category, Casey, Pulaski, Russell, and Taylor; 3 counties in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread: Adair, Cumberland, and Wayne; and 3 counties in the "red-critical" range: Clinton, Green, and McCreary. Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 2.99%. Deaths: We are happy to report no new deaths today. We have experienced a total of 380 deaths resulting in a 1.78% mortality rate (about 1 in 56) among known cases. This compares with a 1.43% mortality rate at the state level and a 1.81% mortality rate at the national level. Hospitalizations: We presently have 17 cases in the hospital. This is 9 less than what we reported yesterday. We have had a total of 1,181 hospitalizations resulting in a 5.54% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 18) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 4.84%. The latest data shows that 88.89% of Lake Cumberland's ICU beds are filled, and 26.23% of ventilator capacity is being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 21,322 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 10.21% of our total population has 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. Of our total cases, 0.4% are reinfections. Released (Not contagious) Cases: We released 19 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 2; Casey: 1; Clinton: 1; McCreary: 2; Pulaski: 5; Russell: 1; Taylor: 3; and, Wayne: 4. In all, we have released 97.4% of our total cases. Active (Current) Cases: We added 17 more cases today than we had deceased and/or released cases. This leaves us with 185 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district's 10 counties. On 12/10/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 1,342. Where Did Cases Visit Prior to Isolation: The most common places cases visited prior to isolation are (in descending order): Family, Businesses, Schools, and Medical Facilities. Of our active cases, 5% can not be tied back to another known case (community-spread cases). New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 36 today: Adair: 5; Casey: 2; Clinton: 4; Green: 3; McCreary: 13; Pulaski: 3; Russell: 3; and, Taylor: 3. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.001. This means our total case count is projected to double every 522.57 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 12/30/2020 when we added 301 cases. Today's new cases include:
Don't forget that at both the world level and the national level, we are seeing sharp increases in new COVID-19 cases. Therefore, please do not assume that the pandemic is completely behind us and take the vaccine as soon as you can. Also, until the vaccine is widely available, and a significant percentage of the population has taken it, let's all 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 touching our faces. https://www.lcdhd.org/info-tools/health-assessments-and-statistics/health_report_card/covid19-state-wide-outbreak-2/covid-19-media-public/daily-brief This story was posted on 2021-04-02 06:48:06
