Kentucky Coronavirus Monitoring

We have entered a new phase of the pandemic. Therefore, the CDC has developed a new way to monitor the number of COVID-19 cases in communities and the burden that COVID-19 is placing on local hospital systems.  COVID-19 Community Levels are a new tool to help communities decide what prevention steps to take based on the latest data. Levels can be low, medium, or high and are determined by looking at hospital beds being used, hospital admissions, and the total number of new COVID-19 cases in an area. Take precautions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 based on the COVID-19 Community Level in your area.  Visit Kentucky COVID-19 Community Levels By County  to assess current community levels.
