Kentucky received a major report this week from the White House Coronavirus Working Group.
It has two other counties in the “red zone” of the organization in operation, for positions with more than one hundred new instances consisting of one hundred, 000 inhabitants, and a positive rate of at least 10% in virus detection, but much less in their “yellow zone,” for those with 10 to one hundred instances consisting of one hundred, 000, and positive verification rates of five to 10 consistent with percent.
And the most recent report dropped two recommendations in last week’s report, namely kentucky avoid visits to nursing homes and other long-term care services and tell others with obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure to take shelter on site.
The running organization sends the report to states with recommendations based on the red and yellow zones. It is dated on Sunday and covers last Saturday to Friday. The Office of Health and Family Services published the report in response to an open registration request from Kentucky Health News, which requested that it be published within a day of receipt through the federal government because it understands urgent information. The application was made on Monday and met through the company on Tuesday. “We appreciate the speed of the reaction,” KHN told the company in an email.
The most recent report puts 18 counties in the red zone, two more than in last week’s report, which had only 34 counties, up from 58 last week. Overall, the number of county counties in the state in a danger zone is 52 to 74.
Although the number of counties in the red zone has replaced a lot, county names have replaced. The most recent report added all the Louisville and Evansville metropolitan areas, adding Owensboro and Henderson. These additions were expansions of Jefferson and Davies counties, which were already in the red zone. Jefferson County has noticed a strong buildup in the last three weeks.
The other Counties of the Red Zone, largely in the order indicated through the working group, are Warren, Oldham, Graves, Barren, Scott, Laurel, Henderson, Casey, Knox, Adair, Spencer, Henry, Anderson, Metcalfe, Monroe. , Cumberland and Fulton. The last 3 jumped directly to the red zone without being in the yellow zone, illustrating how temporarily the virus can spread.
Shelby and Ohio counties have moved from the red zone to the yellow zone. Carroll County, which is in the red zone, is not even in the yellow zone in the most recent report. The counties that were not yet indexed in the previous report are now in the yellow zone are Garrard, Lawrence, Perry, Pulaski and Taylor.
The counties that left the yellow zone in the last were Allen, Boyle, Butler, Clinton, Fleming, Franklin, Gallatin, Grant, Grayson, Green, Hancock, Harrison, Hart, Hickman, LaRue, Livingston, Martin, Mason, Nicholas, Owsley, Todd, Trigg, Trimble, Union and Washington.
The report indicates that 7.2% of the state’s retirement homes had at least one inflamed resident, a 0.6% increase in problems last week.
“Nursing services with more than two cases shown or suspected COVID-19 are largely found in the red and yellow spaces,” the report says. “Preventing the spread of these spaces is essential to protect the vulnerable population of nursing homes. Protect vulnerable populations in assisted living services and long-term care through weekly tests of all staff in need of masks. In services where staff have tested positively, ensure that all citizens have been evaluated temporarily and that appropriate cohort measures have been implemented. Perform on-site inspections to ensure that COVID-19 protection rules and considerations are implemented. »
Overall, Kentucky recorded 95 new cases consisting of 100,000 people last week, at a national average of 137 consisting of 100,000 inhabitants. This put him out of the red zone by instance.
The report’s state recommendations state that the state maintains its mask requirement in its position and “works with local communities to achieve certain maximum usage rates; identifies mechanisms to assess compliance with local regulations.”
The execution of the mask mandate is largely the duty of companies. They are intended to be monitored through local fitness services, however, Gov. Andy Beshear stated on July 27 that the application should be d. His workplace did not answer Kentucky Health News’ questions about what he has done with law enforcement and the effects of his actions.
