On the day of the attack, Attorney General Cameron condemned the violence stating, "What is happening on Capitol Hill today is despicable, and I condemn it.

Blue Raiders return to campus for spring semester Jan. 19 After a successful and safe fall semester, Lindsey Wilson College is ready to welcome students back to campus. LWC released plans for the spring 2021 semester last week with an updated Safe Return to Campus Playbook for the second half of the academic year. The playbook includes revised operating protocols and procedures for students, faculty and staff to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19 on the A.P. White Campus and keep the campus community safe. Before returning to the A.P. White Campus students are required to self-quarantine and complete a daily health assessment for 10 consecutive days; provide a negative COVID test within three days of returning; or provide a release form if they have tested positive within the last 90 days. All classes -- online, extended campus, graduate, evening and traditional day college -- will begin on Tuesday, Jan. 19; the last day to register or add a class for spring 2021 is Monday, Jan. 25. Classes on the A.P. White Campus will be delivered in a hybrid model that allows students to attend face-to-face for a portion of their class and to receive remaining instruction via an online asynchronous approach. All students, faculty and staff will be required to complete a daily health assessment, wear face coverings, social distance and sanitize as necessary.

Take steps to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning By Susan Dunlap Frankfort, KY - With recent winter temperatures below freezing, the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH), an agency within the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), wants to remind residents to take action to prevent carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. "As we move into the winter months, cold weather and weather-related power outages are more likely to result in Kentuckians using generators and gas grills to provide heat. CO created by these heat sources is odorless and deadly so it is important to follow proper safety precautions and use CO detectors to keep our families safe. Working together, we can keep ourselves and our loved ones informed and safe while keeping warm this winter," said Dr. Steven Stack, KDPH commissioner. Since 2011, Kentucky law has required CO detectors in newly constructed one and two-family dwellings, townhomes less than three stories, apartment buildings, dormitories, adult/child care facilities and assisted living facilities that contain a fuel-burning-appliance or an attached garage. In Kentucky, CO poisoning sends an average of 217 people per year to the emergency room, according to data from the Kentucky's Environmental Public Health Tracking Program.

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 1/12/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department So far, this week's new case numbers are lower than last week's new case numbers for the same timeframe. We are troubled, though, by the very high hospitalization numbers in our district. Some of our hospitals' leadership are expressing concerns. Generally, deaths and hospitalizations follow the new cases trends by a couple of weeks or so. Lets hope that our new cases are truly starting to trend downward so that our hospitals can find some much-needed relief. For now, 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. COVID-19 Vaccination Status Here is an article we published this morning: COVID-19 Vaccine, Patience is Needed. As soon as we have additonal information, we will post it. LCDHD is currently operating in Phase 1a of our COVID-19 vaccine distribution plan. This includes vaccines for healthcare workers and first responders. We are not pre-registering for future vaccination phases at this time, as vaccines are not readily available. As soon as the state authorizes us to order Phase 1b vaccine, we will order it and set up clinics. Please follow this website and the LCDHD social media sites for details about future vaccine availability once additional vaccine is received. Also, don't forget about the contract with Walgreens and CVS pharmacies to vaccinate the long-term care facilities and personal care homes -- residents and staff.
