LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 5/25/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department We added fewer cases today than for the same time period last week causing our 7-day average incidence rate per 100,000 to go down. Today, our 7-day average incidence rate chart is showing 2 counties in the "green-on-track range", Clinton, and Wayne; 6 counties in the "yellow-community-spread" category, Casey, Cumberland, Green, McCreary, Pulaski, and Russell; and 2 counties in the "orange-accelerated" range of community-spread: Adair, and Taylor. We are glad not to have any counties in the "red-critical" range. Statewide Testing Positivity Rate: 2.52%. Deaths: We regret we must report 1 new death today. We have experienced a total of 436 deaths resulting in a 1.94% mortality rate (about 1 in 52) among known cases. This compares with a 1.47% mortality rate at the state level and a 1.78% mortality 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 17 cases in the hospital. This is 3 more than what we reported yesterday. We have had a total of 1,252 hospitalizations resulting in a 5.57% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 18) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 4.96%. The latest data shows that 68.89% of Lake Cumberland's ICU beds are filled, and 16.13% of ventilator capacity is being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 22,452 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 10.76% of our total population has 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. Of our total cases, 0.5% are reinfections, and 1.48% contracted the virus after having received at least 1 dose of the vaccine. Released (Not contagious) Cases: We released 19 cases today from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 5; Green: 3; McCreary: 1; Pulaski: 7; and, Taylor: 3. In all, we have released 97.6% of our total cases. Active (Current) Cases: We added 9 more cases today than we had deceased and/or released cases. This leaves us with 107 active cases in our district across 9 of our district's 10 counties. On 12/10/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 1,342. Where Did Cases Visit Prior to Isolation: The most common places cases visited prior to isolation are (in descending order): Businesses, Family, Medical Facilities, and Schools. Of our active cases, 6% can not be tied back to another known case (community-spread cases). New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 29 today: Casey: 5; Cumberland: 1; Green: 4; McCreary: 2; Pulaski: 7; Russell: 1; and, Taylor: 9. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.001. This means our total case count is projected to double every 929.78 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 12/30/2020 when we added 301 cases. Today's new cases include:
The death we announce today is a 79-year-old individual from McCreary who had been hospitalized. https://www.lcdhd.org/info-tools/health-assessments-and-statistics/health_report_card/covid19-state-wide-outbreak-2/covid-19-media-public/daily-brief This story was posted on 2021-05-26 06:45:21
