LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 3/22/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department Our new cases went up slightly compared to this time last week, 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 McCreary; and 5 counties in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread: Adair, Pulaski, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne. None of our counties are presently in the "red-critical" range. The fact that our new case rate decline is rising slightly is concerning. 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 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. Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 2.93%. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2021-03-22 18:13:46 | Comments | Printable version
