An uptick in coronavirus cases is being seen in many counties across the Commonwealth. A health official in southeast Kentucky says COVID is not the only disease drawing attention.
Kentucky River District Health Director Scott Lockard said COVID numbers have been increasing. He said Lee County schools canceled classes for a period in August due to various respiratory illnesses. For coronavirus, Lockard noted those who test positive should still isolate for ten days. He added you can come out of isolation early with a negative test and no symptoms.
