Kentucky reaches record COVID-19 ICU admissions By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen On Thursday during the Governor's weekly Team Kentucky update, Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, said hospitals are facing a variety of challenges caring for patients right now, including:
Yesterday, Dr. Stack and Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) Secretary Eric Friedlander signed a directive allowing people licensed to practice medicine or nursing in other states to serve on an emergency basis in Kentucky. From March 1 to Aug. 18, 2021, 85.3% of COVID-19 cases, 90.3% of COVID-19 hospitalizations and 87.4% of COVID-19 deaths were among partially vaccinated or unvaccinated Kentuckians. As of today, 2,436,044 Kentuckians have received at least their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine; 6,935 have been vaccinated over the past 24 hours. From March to May 2021, 6% of COVID-19 deaths were among Kentuckians younger than 50 years old; from June to August 2021, 16% of COVID-19 deaths were among Kentuckians younger than 50 years old. The Governor continued to encourage all Kentuckians 12 and older to get a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine and then sign up for a chance to win $1 million or a full college scholarship at ShotAtAMillion.ky.gov. Two $1 million winners and 10 full-scholarship winners were announced on July 2 and July 30. On Aug. 27, another $1 million winner and five more full-scholarship winners will be announced.
