County's color should move to Orange

Out of the Red for the first time in more than two weeks, Crittenden County’s COVID-19 cases have turned to a trickle in recent days compared to where they were in late November and early December.

There were two new cases reported Thursday, which brought the county’s seven-day total to 14. Based on the state’s formula for updating its color-coded map, that would drop Crittenden out of the Red zone and into the Orange. However, a data lag between western Kentucky and Frankfort has typically meant a multi-day delay in accurate response on the map.

A seven-year-old male and a 78-year-old female were the lates two cases in Crittenden County, bringing the yearly total to 346.

Livingston reported 11 new cases on Thursday, one was hospitalized.
