No Confirmed Coronavirus Outbreaks in Louisville

Virus

The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health Wellness is working with area physicians, hospitals and government agencies to guard against and prevent the potential spread of the 2019 novel corona virus. So far, there have been no confirmed cases or suspected cases in Louisville. 

Our team, led by our medical director, Dr. Lori Caloia, is working closely with our partners at the Kentucky Department  for Public Health and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to stay up to date on the novel corona virus. We maintain detailed plans on how to respond to outbreaks of infectious diseases, such as the 2018 hepatitis A outbreak, as well as other community public health emergencies. 

While there are no cases of novel corona virus in Jefferson County or Kentucky, there have been more than 11,000 cases of the flu statewide, almost 6,000 here with 5 deaths. There have been more than 15 million cases of flu nationwide. To date only 11 cases of novel corona virus have been confirmed in the US.

Denise Bentley Honored during Louisville Metro's Black History Month Ceremony

 On Thursday, February 20th the Metro Council’s Community Affairs and Housing Committee held a special meeting to honor outstanding residents and volunteers as part of its 18th Annual Black History Month Program. We're proud to recognize Denise Bentley as the District 23 recipient. 

Denise Bentley is a former Louisville Board of Alderman member who represented the 9th ward from 1996 until merger.   Ms. Bentley was the first African-American Woman elected president of the Board of Alderman in 2002.

As an inaugural member of the Louisville Metro Council, she served as the 1st District Councilperson until resigning in 2005 due to her appointment by Governor Ernie Fletcher to serve as a liaison to the Governor’s office of Local Government. 

As a resident of District 23 she now has an insurance company, political consulting business and is an active member of the Highview community.  Congratulations Denise Bentley!
