Black leaders promote trust in the COVID-19 vaccine By Crystal Staley/Brice Mitchell, CHFS Frankfort, KY - With a commitment to provide equitable access to COVID-19 vaccinations across Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear is working with the Lexington chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

"Thought leaders from many communities are stepping forward from all over the state, asking what they can do and how they can help," said Gov. Beshear.

Johnson competes in the prelims on March 3 at 3:30pmCT and potentially in the finals on March 5 at 1pmCT.

The NAIA Women's Indoor Track and Field Championship hosted by Dakota State University will take place at the Ruth Donohoe First Dakota Fieldhouse in Yankton, S.D. on March 3-6. 2021-02-24 10:28:07 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 2/23/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department We added more cases today than last Tuesday, so our 7-day average incidence rate went up. We still have 5 counties in the "orange-critical" range of community-spread: Casey, Clinton, McCreary, Pulaski, and Wayne. We have 5 counties are in the "red-critical" range of community-spread: Adair, Cumberland, Green, Russell, and Taylor. Schools have moved back into second place for the most common place visited before a positive case is isolated. While the kids are the least likely to get sick from the virus, and while the staff are in the vaccination process, there is concern that community-spread will happen between the kids at school and then from the kids to their parents and grandparents, then to work and church. The bottom-line, we shouldn't become cavilier with following the guidance. While more and more vaccine sites are opening in our area and more and more vaccine is flowing in, until the vaccine is widely available, 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. Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 6.3%. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2021-02-24 04:43:59 | Comments | Printable version
