For the first time in twelve weeks, our new case rate exceeded that of the state average. Our current growth rate remains at 1.03 (cumulative case count doubling about every 23 days). We remind everyone that our best chance for slowing the spread is for everyone to wear a mask when out in public, to avoid crowds, to social distance (stay 6-feet from others), to wash their hands with soap and water often and thoroughly, to stay home if they have a fever or are coughing, to increase sanitation, and to avoid touching their faces.
The Lake Cumberland area has experienced 438 Cumulative Confirmed Cases and there have been 16,670 Confirmed COVID-19 cases across All 120 Kentucky Counties as of 07/05/20 (this includes 16,637 statewide plus 43 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 to identify and contact all those with whom any positive case may have come into close contact.
