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%.

History Monday: Murray's Filling Station

By Mike Watson

New Filling Station to be Erected--Mr. Albin Murray is razing his storehouse on Burkesville Street, formerly occupied by Broaddus Grocery, and plans to build a filling station on that site right away. He plans to use the lumber from the building he is tearing down to build a residence on his lot next to the city cemetery, on Campbellsville Street. The filling station has not been leased as yet, though several people want it. Adair County News, 20 July 1932, p1.

Armstead Swope Broaddus, Jr. was operating his grocery and advertising in the News by mid-October 1929.

New Filling Station Completed--Mr. Albin Murray's new filling station on Burkesville Street is completed and the opening will be announced at an early date. This station is attractive in appearance and is ideally located, being just one block off the public square, on one of Columbia's busiest streets. Adair County News, 23 November 1932, p1.
