Considered Kentucky’s most popular not-for-profit paid attraction, the Zoo welcomed nearly 9 million guests in the last decade. In 2021, the Zoo was voted “Best Place to Take Kids in Summer,” by LEO Weekly, “Best Kid-Friendly Attraction” by Kentucky Living Magazine and Boo at the Zoo made the Top 10 Halloween Festivals list by thetravel.com. Community Access Memberships, deep-discount days, the Future Healers Got Zoo Buddies partnership and the accessible playground are among prime efforts to make Louisville Zoo even safer, more engaging, and more inclusive. Among the Louisville Zoo’s most successful conservation programs, the black-footed ferret breeding effort produced 1,100 kits and repatriated more than 800 of these most highly endangered, American mammals to the wild.
The Louisville Zoo, a non-profit organization and state Zoo of Kentucky, is dedicated to bettering the bond between people and our planet by providing excellent care for animals, a great experience for visitors, and leadership in scientific research and conservation education.

 Two cases of mysterious childhood hepatitis reported in Louisville
The Louisville Metro Department of Public Health & Wellness has received reports of two pediatric patients who are under investigation for acute hepatitis of unknown cause in Jefferson County. At this time, no confirmed cases have been reported in the Louisville Metro area.
The CDC is working with health departments across the United States to identify children with hepatitis of unknown cause. The cause of this illness is not known, however; investigators are looking into a possible relationship to adenovirus type 41 infection.
Dr. Jeff Howard, the interim health department director, medical director and chief health strategist for Louisville, said advises parents to "look out for symptoms including fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, light-colored stools, joint pain and jaundice (yellowing of the skin). If your child displays the listed symptoms reach out to their health care provider."
Dr. Howard added: "To help prevent your child from becoming sick make sure they are up to date on all their vaccinations, wash their hands often with soap and water, avoid people who are sick and avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth. If your child is sick keep them away from others, teach them to cover their coughs and sneezes and seek medical attention if you are concerned about their health. To learn more about the ongoing investigation of hepatitis of unknown cause visit the CDC’s website.”

Many people want to know, when will the pandemic just end-emic already? We can draw some lessons from the "great influenza" of 1918. In other words, everyone has a role to play: get vaccinated and boosted.
Louisville is holding steady in the “medium” or “yellow” COVID-19 community level category. The CDC recommends residents in counties in the “medium” risk category to do the following:
- Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines.
- Get tested if you are showing symptoms.
- Talk to your health care provider about whether you need to wear a mask and take other precautions if you are at high risk for severe illness.
The CDC is also recommending that travelers wear a well-fitting mask in public transportation areas.
Here are the key COVID-19 data metrics for this week:
- Daily incidence rate of 42.5 cases per 100,000 population
- Weekly incidence rate of 268.19 cases per 100,000 population
- 2,283 new cases reported over the previous week
- 12 newly reported deaths
Vaccines:
- 76.4% of Louisville residents have received at least one dose of vaccine
- 66.2% have completed the vaccine series
- 46.6% have received a booster dose
Have you tested positive for COVID, but aren't sure what to do? Need help finding a COVID test or vaccination location? Call the LOU Health COVID-19 Helpline, 502-912-8598, available Monday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Language translation services are available.edit this placeholder text.

Louisville, Kentucky - Central Creativity, a national educational enrichment organization and NASA Astro CampTM Collaborating Partner, is proud to announce its partnership with two local schools to bring NASA’s signature summer camp experience, NASA Astro CampTM to Louisville campers for the 2022 summer learning season.
NASA Astro CampTM is being offered on June 27-July 1 at the Holy Cross High School campus and on July 11 – 15 at St. Albert the Great School. Each one-week NASA Astro CampTM runs Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
This signature space-based experience is filled with NASA resources and activities that excite and inform K-12 campers about the many STEM careers to be found at NASA and in the aerospace industry.
Campers will take spacewalks and experience zero-gravity through NASA VR, build lunar colonies, construct a solar-powered Mars Rover, launch fizzy rockets, concoct out-of-this-world asteroid ice cream, and more as they work together in crews to complete over 20 age-appropriate missions.
The program's engaging, hands-on STEM activities align to Next Generation Science standards and include NASA's unique opportunities, engineering challenges, and resources.
NASA Astro CampTM is entering its second year at Holy Cross High School and Jennifer Barz, the school’s principal, offered this statement about the program, “This camp is literally out-of-this world! Campers learn about the workings of NASA, they build working robots, and explore the universe all while making friends. It is a great time and well worth it. The quality of teaching and the beautiful materials are more than what you get anywhere else. Give your kids an out-of-this world opportunity and sign up today!”
The goal of NASA Astro CampTM is to collaborate with community partners by providing ALL students the chance to get involved in and experience Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) to inspire future astronauts and engineers.
For more information about the program and how to enroll your K-8th grade camper, please visit www.centralcreativity.com/camps or reach out via phone or email.

Site provides temporary, outdoor accommodations and wrap-around services for up to 53 residents experiencing houselessness
Louisville Metro Office of Resilience and Community Services (RCS) and The Hope Buss announced the completion of final touches to The Hope Village, the city’s Safe Outdoor Space. The Hope Village welcomed its first residents on Thursday, April 28th.
The site, located at 212 E. College St., is a pilot project where up to 53 individuals experiencing houselessness can live temporarily outdoors in weather-sealed tents, with access to food, showers, electricity, and social services. In addition to shelter and amenities, they are offered services including care management to create an individualized longer-term plan, healthcare, housing navigation, job training, mental health and substance abuse treatment, pet food and veterinary care, and recovery support. Most importantly, The Hope Village offers a secure site for residents to feel welcome and safe.
After experiencing delays due to supply chain logistics and inclement weather, The Hope Buss, a local nonprofit selected by the city to oversee the $1.5 million project to operate the safe outdoor space, hosted an open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday. Visitors were invited to bring donations of necessary supplies and write greeting cards for future residents, in addition to receiving a tour of the property.
To stay at The Hope Village, people must be referred by a partner organization. The Hope Buss began the intake process for residents last Tuesday and residents began physically moving in on Thursday.
Addressing homelessness and affordable housing have been included among Mayor Fischer’s top priorities for the city’s share of the federal American Rescue (ARP) Plan funding. In November 2021, Metro Council approved $89 million in ARP funding to support the city’s plan to address chronic street homelessness and boost affordable housing through immediate, intermediate, and long-term solutions.

Ever since we received the 2021 recycling cart grant and started allowing residents to request their first recycling cart for free, we have had an overwhelming response. While we are encouraged by the community’s commitment to recycling, we are also struggling with our recycling cart inventory.
Starting this week our crews are not collecting recycling from the old 18-gallon bins. We understand that some residents have reported stolen recycling carts, missing recycling carts, or requested carts that have not been delivered yet. Our team is working diligently to fulfill requests, but we can see that the requests outnumber our inventory. Staff will prioritize based on situation and need. Due to the low inventory, online purchasing of recycling and garbage carts has been turned off.
Per ordinance, any garbage or recycling that is not set out in a Metro-issued cart must be contained in a 30-40 gallon container with handles, lid, and marked RECYCLING or GARBAGE. Residents may also use the drop-off recycling dumpsters throughout the county. These are marked on a map at Louisvilleky.gov/RecycleMap. We provide stickers for these containers and they can be picked up Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm at 600 Meriwether Ave.
If you have questions about a specific address, our team is here to help!
