LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information 8-10-2021 By Sam Price Lake Cumberland District Health Department On Tuesday, the Governor issued an Executive Order that will require all students, teachers, staff and visitors in K-12 school settings and daycares to wear a mask indoors. 20210810_Executive-Order_2021-585_Schools-Childcare (PDF). New Cases: We report that our total case count has increased by 153 since our last report. Our new cases (including suspect cases) are as follows: Adair: 20; Casey: 15; Clinton: 7; Cumberland: 6; Green: 14; McCreary: 11; Pulaski: 34; Russell: 11; Taylor: 20; and, Wayne: 15. Our current new case growth rate is: 1.00379. This means our total case count is projected to double every 183.44 days. The most new cases we ever added in a single day was on 12/30/2020 when we added 301 cases. Additionally, out of today's reported cases, 41 of them were in individuals age 18 or under. We are starting to see more and more cases in this younger population. Again, we encourage our citizens to take the COVID-19 vaccine, which is safe and very effective. Of our 10,535 new cases since the vaccine started becoming available, almost 96% were unvaccinated. Below are our area's COVID-19 vaccination uptake rates compared to the state average.
Deaths: We regret we must report 3 new deaths since our last report. We have experienced a total of 483 deaths resulting in a 1.96% mortality rate (about 1 in 51) among known cases. This compares with a 1.47% mortality rate at the state level and a 1.72% 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 31 cases in the hospital. This is 4 less than what we reported in our last report. We have had a total of 1,354 hospitalizations resulting in a 5.5% hospitalization rate (about 1 in 18) among known cases. The state hospitalization rate is 4.93%. The latest data shows that 86.67% of Lake Cumberland's ICU beds are filled, and 25.4% of ventilator capacity is being utilized. Total (Cumulative) Cases: The Lake Cumberland District has experienced a total of 24,606 cases since the onset of the outbreak. This means that 11.78% 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, 0.68% are reinfections, and 3.55% contracted the virus after being fully vaccinated (breakthrough cases). In the last week, 15.29% of our new cases were breakthrough cases. Released (Not contagious) Cases: We released 87 cases since our last report from isolation. Released cases include: Adair: 10; Casey: 5; Clinton: 1; Cumberland: 1; Green: 7; McCreary: 5; Pulaski: 45; Russell: 5; Taylor: 4; and, Wayne: 4. In all, we have released 95.7% of our total cases. Active (Current) Cases: Since our last report, we added 63 more cases than we had deceased and/or released cases. This leaves us with 567 active cases in our district across all 10 of our district's 10 counties. On 12/10/2020 we were at our peak number of active cases, 1,338. Where Did Cases Visit Prior to Isolation: The most common places cases visited prior to isolation are (in descending order): Businesses, Schools, Family, and Jail/Prison Related. Of our active cases, 21% can not be tied back to another known case (community-spread cases). We are saddened to report three additional deaths this evening - all Pulaski County residents (all unvaccinated) who had previously been released from isolation, but later succumbed to lasting effects of the illness. Our hearts break for these families. Two were in the 60-69 age range and one was in the 70-79 age range. This story was posted on 2021-08-11 08:37:17
