Dr. Sarah Moyer, Louisville's Chief Health Strategist, said COVID-19 cases have doubled in the last week, as the Delta variant has become the dominant strain of the coronavirus in the city.

Across the U.S., the surge of infections due to the Delta variant is occurring in hotspots where vaccination rates are low in states such as Missouri, Arkansas, Nevada and Mississippi, placing strains on local healthcare systems. 

Dr. Moyer stated that with less than half the population in Jefferson County fully vaccinated, the risk of an outbreak will hit closer to home sooner than people realize. 

"Louisville remains in a pandemic with a virus that is twice as contagious as it was last summer," Dr. Moyer said. "If we don't see vaccination rates improve, we run the risk of seeing those same trends in Louisville in the next month."

JCPS Board of Education members voted unanimously to approve a recommendation from Superintendent Dr. Marty Pollio to require everyone inside JCPS schools and buildings to wear a mask. Pollio earlier told reporters the move was essential to prevent disruptions to in-class learning. “If we value in person education, if we want to keep kids in school 175 school days,” Pollio said. “If we want to make sure we illuminate any disruption, then masking is greatly reducing that, and I think as a community it’s one step we have to take to make sure we stay in school.”

Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services (RCS) joins with Community Action Agencies across the state today to begin accepting applications for the 2021 Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) Summer Cooling Program. This federally-funded programs is designed to help offset the cost of higher electric bills due to rising temperatures. Applications will be accepted now through October 31, 2021, or until funds are depleted.

The LIHEAP Summer Cooling Program is separated into two components, Subsidy and Crisis, to assist with electric cost. Eligible households can apply for one or both components and participation in prior LIHEAP programs will not affect a household’s eligibility. Households must meet eligibility requirements, with a household income at or below 150% of the Kentucky median income.
