Campbellsville University designated a military friendly school By Scarlett Birge Campbellsville, KY - Campbellsville University has been added to the 2021 to 2022 Military Friendly Schools list.

Schools designated as military friendly meet the minimum criteria for striving toward and succeeding in areas that help veterans make the transition from the military to school, and ultimately achieving careers in the civilian world. Institutions earning the Military Friendly designation are evaluated using public data sources and response from a proprietary survey, with nearly 1,693 schools completing the survey each year.

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 3/19/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department Our new cases went up compared to last Friday, so our 7-day average incidence rate went up as well. We now have 5 counties in the "yellow-community-spread" category, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, and Russell; and 5 counties in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread: Adair, McCreary, Pulaski, Taylor, and Wayne. None of our counties are presently in the "red-critical" range. We added 182 new cases since last Friday. We also added 182 cases for the 7 matching days prior. So, our new case decline for this week did not continue the trend of dropping as it has the last several weeks. So, for today and last Friday, our 7-day average incidence rate is and was 12.41 new cases per day per 100,000. On the positive, we only experienced 1 death over the last 7 days, and we have 21 hospitalized cases today compared with 24 last Friday. Also, this is the first time in a long-time our area ICU capacity has been less than 80% full. The fact that our new case rate decline stabilized this week is a concern. While cases are still dropping for the moment in the United States, it should be noted that on the global level, cases have started to rise again. Countries like Brazil, India, France, Italy, and Germany are seeing sharp increases. Therefore, please don't 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.

Proud of health department, community partners By Shawn Crabtree LCDHD Executive Director On March 19th of 2020, Lake Cumberland had its first documented COVID-19 case. Over the ensuing year, the disease has left its mark on all of us, in one way or another. Businesses, churches, schools, and every single citizen have suffered and sacrificed, in a wide variety of ways. At the peak of its spread, in early January of 2021, we were experiencing over 100 new COVID-19 cases per day per 100,000 citizens. In late last December, we topped out at 301 new cases in a single day. Area hospitals were at their COVID-19 and ICU limits. Things looked dire as our public health and hospital capacity were near their breaking points. By the grace of God, and with the efforts of the health department and other health and medical providers, with citizen compliance with prevention guidance, and with vaccination efforts ramping up, though, it would seem we have turned the corner on this disease since the number of new cases per day have been on a steady decline since January. While we are not out of the woods yet (at the world level, cases are beginning again to increase since there are significant surges in several countries), we are thankful for the local decrease in cases, for continued public caution, and for the aggressive vaccination efforts. While nothing about this disease has been easy on society, and while there are always areas where things could have been improved, I am proud of how our communities have responded. Again, we have all sacrificed but, hopefully, the end is in sight. At this one-year anniversary, I take an account of the efforts of your local health departments in responding to this pandemic.
