Adair County still highest COVID-19 cases, deaths 2020-07-10 - Russell County, KY - Photo from the LCDHD. Daily update at the close of Thursday, July 9, 2020 shows Adair County is still the highest in the Lake Cumberland District Health Department's ten counties even as the Coronavirus cases grow in other counties around us. Compare Adair statistics (population 19,215) to Pulaski County (population 64,979) and it shows at a glance why the mask requirement is in place again for the next 30 days. It's about the air we share - bad breath is no longer the biggest concern about being up close and personal, now it's a matter of life and death. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
