COVID-19 update: one from Adair dies, 11 new cases One death is reported from Adair. Total new case count has increased by 54 in the ten counties today, Tuesday, October 20, 2020 - Adair: 11; Casey: 2; Clinton: 8; Cumberland: 4; Green: 3; McCreary: 2; Pulaski: 4; Russell: 4; Taylor: 8; and, Wayne: 8. By Amy Tomlinson, Lake Cumberland District Health Department We are sad to report one new death today from Adair, an 81-year-old male. We have experienced a total of 79 deaths resulting in a 2.11% mortality rate among known cases. This compares with a 1.5% mortality rate at the state level, and a 2.67% morality rate at the national level. Our hearts and prayers go out to all the families and friends who have lost loved ones. Hospitalizations: We presently have 20 cases in the hospital. This is 2 more than yesterday. The most hospitalizations we have had at any one time was 33 on 09/02/2020. We have had a total of 292 hospitalizations resulting in a 7.78% hospitalization rate among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 7.44%. The latest state data shows that 68.4% of ICU beds and 27.7% of ventilator capacity are being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 3,752 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 1.8% of our total population have been a confirmed case. However, we do not know how many additional people may have had COVID-19 and were either asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic and never tested. Released (Not contagious) Cases: We released 57 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 14; Casey: 2; Clinton: 7; Green: 4; McCreary: 1; Pulaski: 8; Russell: 9; Taylor: 9; and, Wayne: 3. In all, we have released 86.8% of our total cases. Active (Current) Cases: We released 4 more cases today than we added new cases. Taking all things into account, this leaves us with 417 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district's 10 counties. On 10/18/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 428. Where are Cases Tied to: The most common areas to where we are seeing cases tied are (in descending order): Businesses, Schools, Places of Worship, and Medical Facilities. New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 54 today: Adair: 11; Casey: 2; Clinton: 8; Cumberland: 4; Green: 3; McCreary: 2; Pulaski: 4; Russell: 4; Taylor: 8; and, Wayne: 8. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.016. This means our total case count is projected to double every 44.66 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 08/26/2020 when we added 75 cases.

Our area mortality rate is still 2.11% (or just over 1 in 50). This is high when compared to the state average of 1.5%. We continue to have 7 counties in the "red-critical" range of community-spread: Adair, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne. Our other 3 counties, Casey, McCreary, and Pulaski, are in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread. Please, let's all continue to 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 the touching of our faces. The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 3,752 cumulative confirmed cases and there have been 89,655 confirmed COVID-19 cases across all 120 Kentucky Counties as of today (this includes 89,544 statewide plus 111 recently reported cases in Lake Cumberland not in the Governor's/Department for Public Health's daily report). Regardless of the confirmed case count for any Lake Cumberland County, we believe COVID-19 to be widespread. The LCDHD is working tirelessly, including nights and weekends, to identify and contact all those with whom any positive case may have come into close contact, and to follow-up daily with positive cases. Additionally, we are striving diligently to follow-up on business-related complaints regarding noncompliance with the Governor's Executive Orders. We are also working with any community partner that requests assistance for prevention or post-exposure planning/response. https://www.lcdhd.org/2020/10/20/public-information-brief-10-20-20/ This story was posted on 2020-10-20 20:23:36
