The COVID-19 positivity rate in Kentucky stayed fairly steady from last week’s report, as the state reported another 3,392 new cases.
It was a mixed bag in the weekly update, as the positivity rate did go up slightly from 7.70 percent to 7.91 percent—and while the reported number of new cases was lower when compared to the week before, there were more reported deaths at 81. That brings the death toll since the pandemic began up to 17,111.
There are currently 287 individuals in the hospital with COVID-19, 46 in the ICU and 13 on a ventilator.
