Mayor, Health Director provide update on COVID-19, stressing there are no cases in Louisville or Kentucky

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (February 27, 2020) – Mayor Greg Fischer and Dr. Sarah Moyer, director of the Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness and the city’s Chief Health Strategist, today addressed media about the coronavirus (COVID-19), stressing that while there are no confirmed or suspected cases in Louisville or Kentucky or Indiana, city and state health officials are monitoring the situation and are ready to respond if necessary.

“While the concern over coronavirus is new, preparing for emergencies and disasters and potential threats is part of our DNA at Metro Government,” said the Mayor. “Louisville responded to the hepatitis A outbreak of 2017, with the CDC calling our response the gold standard. Metro Government also dealt successfully with the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, when we administered more than 22,000 immunizations in a day and a half at drive-thru and walk-in clinics.”

The Mayor added that, “While the situation with COVID-19 is evolving and Louisvillians continue to be at very low risk, we are in contact with the CDC, the Department of Health and Human Services and the Kentucky Department for Public Health.”  

Fischer also pointed out that Muhammad Ali Airport in not a place where travelers from outside the U.S. arrive directly from other countries and that those who land at SDF have already been screened for COVID-19 in other places. 

Dr. Moyer stressed that in Louisville “we are at far greater risk from the flu than from COVID-19.  “This year we’ve had more than 7,600 confirmed flu cases in Louisville with 8 deaths,” she said.

Dr. Moyer added that while there presently is no vaccine to prevent COVID-19, there are some simple things everyone can do to prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including the flu and COVID-19.

1. Wash your hands frequently.
2. Cover your cough and sneeze into your sleeve.
3. If you’re sick, stay home. If your child is sick, keep her or him home from school or daycare.

According to the CDC, there are presently 15 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States. Of these cases, 12 involved persons who had traveled to infected countries and 2 were close personal household contacts of those people. One recent case is of unknown origin. Another 45 cases have been detected among Americans being repatriated from Hubei Province China on the Diamond Princess cruise ship.

Last night, the CDC announced an infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 in a California person who reportedly did not have relevant travel history or exposure to another known patient with COVID-19.

It’s possible this could be an instance of community spread of COVID-19, which would be the first time this has happened in the United States. Community spread means spread of an illness for which the source of infection is unknown. It’s also possible, however, that the patient may have been exposed to a returned traveler who was infected. 

“This new case underscores the importance of our being ready to respond to COVID-19 in Louisville,” said Dr. Moyer. “And we are ready.”

“We have an Office of Emergency Preparedness and have activated our emergency response team that was successful in bringing the hepatitis A outbreak under control. We are in regular communications with CDC as well as our state and local partners including local hospitals healthcare systems and healthcare providers,” she said.

The Mayor closed his remarks by noting, “We will continue to welcome visitors to our city” and that Louisville Tourism confirms that all conventions planned for spring and summer are still happening. "We’re moving ahead with the big events planned for the spring – Thunder, the Derby Festival and Derby 146 – is running on Saturday May 2.”

Homestead Exemption | Jefferson County PVA

Kentucky’s Constitution allows property owners who are 65 or older to receive the Homestead Exemption on their primary residence. If you are eligible to receive the Homestead Exemption, the exemption amount is subtracted from your property’s assessed value, reducing your property tax liability.

Only one exemption (Homestead or Disability) is allowed per household. Once approved for the Homestead Exemption, you are not required to reapply annually.  You are eligible for the Homestead Exemption on residential or commercial property as long as you own and occupy the property as your primary residence and meet all other qualifying criteria. If you move, it is your responsibility to notify the PVA Office and reapply for the exemption on your new residence.

KRS 132.810(2) (h) provides, “When title to property which is exempted, either in whole or in part, under the homestead exemption is transferred, the owner, administrator, executor, trustee, guardian, conservator, curator or agent shall report such transfer to The Property Valuation Administrator.”

Free Soil Testing Available

"To many people, soil is pretty common and meaningless. Some call it "dirt." But for those who understand it, soil is a marvel - a living space that harbors vibrant life within it and supports all life above it. In fact, without soil, there would be no "us." In return, the soils that support our lives cannot be taken for granted; they must be nurtured. Healthy soils support healthy environments, and healthy environments support healthy life. A growing urban society means fewer of us come into daily contact with the living soil and those working lands that produce food and fiber, clean water, clean air, wildlife, and scenic vistas." ~ excerpt from The Living Soil by Neil Simpson. I love that this excerpt is listed as the intro to the instructions the Jefferson County Extension Service provides on how to take a soil sample. It reminds us how foundational soil is to the health and wellbeing of humans and our gardens. Until you start testing your soil nutrients, you are missing a key tool in the garden success toolbox! Soil nutrient testing should be done annually from your lawn and your garden or farm. Every growing season, plants, including grass, pull nutrients out of the soil in order to grow, bloom or produce fruit. If these nutrients are not replenished, the next year's plants will suffer. Most farmers and gardeners understand this process. But how do you know how much fertilizer or compost to add to your soil each year to create the right balance for your plants? Testing your soil! If you baked a cake for the very first time, a recipe and ingredient list would be key for the cake to taste good and have the right texture. Without these, the cake could be too sweet or too salty, too dense, or burn in the oven. It is the same for our soils. Without knowing how much nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, etc. exist in your soil you can add too much or too little fertilizer. This can cause your plants to have issues like stunted growth, lots of green leaves but no blossoms or fruit, or to die. It can also cause excess fertilizer to run off your lawn or garden during the next rainstorm and enter our waterways.  Now is the perfect time to test your soil nutrients before you plant your garden for the year. The Jefferson County Soil and Water District provides up to 2 soil vouchers so you can test your soil for free! Visit our website to fill out our online form and we will email you vouchers and instructions on taking your sample. Then take your samples to the Jefferson County Extension Office for testing. It's that simple!
