The cases reported by GRDHD have been investigated and confirmed locally. These cases are then reported to the Kentucky Department for Public Health. This process sometimes may result in lags between state and local reporting and some discrepancies from duplicate reports.

Corrections from original article:
1- It was listed as Thursday’s update rather than Friday’s.
2- In the list of new cases by county, Daviess was shown as having only 4 new cases rather than the actual amount of 24. That led to the total new cases adding up to 42 rather than 62.
3- The list of new recoveries reflected Thursday’s 31 recoveries rather than Friday’s actual count of 16.
OT regrets the errors and thanks our followers for brining them to our attention.
