According to data from the Kentucky Department for Public Health, COVID-19 cases are increasing both in the state and locally in Louisville Metro. According to the CDC, infections are also growing in at least 38 states. Annually COVID1-9 cases have risen in the summer. This has become known as the “summer surge.”
“New variants tend to drive a surge in cases,” said Dr. Bryant, associate medical director at the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health and Wellness and pediatric infectious disease specialist with Norton Children’s. “Fortunately, however, hospitalizations and emergency department visits for COVID remain low.”
Here are steps you can take to reduce your risk of getting COVID19 this summer:
- Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines
- Although people who are vaccinated can get the virus, staying up to date on vaccines significantly lowers the risk of becoming seriously ill.
- Updated 2024 – 2025 vaccines will be available this fall.
- Practice good hygiene
- Cover your coughs and sneezes.
- Wash your hands well with soap and water.
- Use hand sanitizer with at least 60 percent alcohol if soap and water are not available.
- Use household cleaners that contain soap or detergent to remove germs and dirt on surfaces.
- Take steps for cleaner air
- Increase airflow and bring as much fresh air into the home by opening doors and windows and/or using exhaust fans.
- You can resume normal activities when, for at least 24 hours, both are true:
- You no longer feel ill and your symptoms are mild and infrequent, AND
- You have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication.
- When you go back to your normal activities, continue to take added precautions over the next 5 days such as continuing steps for cleaner air and practicing good hand hygiene. You can also
These actions are especially important to protect people with factors that increase their risk of severe illness from respiratory viruses.

The Food and Drug Administration approved a new Alzheimer’s drug from Eli Lilly that has been shown in clinical trials to modestly slow a decline in memory and thinking abilities in people with the disease, the drugmaker said Tuesday.
The drug, donanemab, which will be sold under the brand name Kisunla, is a monoclonal antibody infusion given every four weeks.
The FDA cleared the drug for use in adults with mild cognitive impairment or early Alzheimer’s disease, Lilly said. Kisunla works by targeting amyloid in the brain, considered a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.
The approval is significant because it adds another treatment option for the devastating disease, said Dr. Ronald Petersen, a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic. Last summer, the FDA granted a full approval to a similar drug called Leqembi.
“It will give clinicians and patients a choice,” Petersen said.
An estimated 6.7 million people in the U.S. ages 65 and older were living with Alzheimer’s last year, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. The number is projected to increase to 13.8 million by 2060. For more information on Kisunla, click HERE

July 27th marked the 35th anniversary for Metro311, the city agency that connects Louisville residents to city government to resolve non-emergency issues.
The agency, which was created in 1989 as “City Call,” continues to be the customer service center for Louisville Metro Government (LMG), and helps to reduce government red tape, streamline services, and improve accountability. Residents can connect with Metro311 in a variety of ways to request a service, offer a suggestion, ask a question, share an opinion, register a concern or even pass along a compliment relating to Metro services and events. Once a concern is reported, Metro311 routes the concern to the appropriate LMG agency.
“I am so proud of our Metro311 team,” said Jody Duncan, Metro311 Manager. “The hard work and dedication they provide to our residents and partners in Louisville Metro Government each day is unparalleled. They continuously strive to offer the best customer service through daily contacts and at community events. Here’s to the next 35!”
In 2023 alone, Metro311 answered 131,765 calls, addressed 17,835 emails, had 35,123 web and app hits, and 592 tweets, all leading to a total of 185,315 interactions. Metro311’s top service requests include LMG agency questions and concerns, solid waste container requests, streets, social services and missed services.
The Metro311 team works closely with Louisville Metro Council members and legislative aides to address constituent concerns.
“Our District 3 Team would like to congratulate Metro311 on their 35 years of operations. Their vital services help connect the people of Louisville to services and care. It’s an important linkage we refer many of our constituents to when we don't have an immediate answer. Nothing but great work from 3-1-1. Cheers and please keep it up! You can always count on support from our office,” said Councilwoman Shameka Parrish-Wright, District 3.
"As we mark the 35th anniversary of Louisville's Metro311, we recognize the invaluable role this service has played in improving our city's quality of life. Metro311 has been instrumental in building trust and transparency between our residents and city government, ensuring that every voice is heard, and every concern is addressed," said Councilman Phillip Baker, District 6.
“Metro311 is a great tool for citizens to voice their concerns and certainly brings citizens closer to their government. That’s always a good thing,” said Councilman Pat Mulvihill, District 10.
In 2018, the agency changed its name from MetroCall311 to Metro311 because of advances in ways to connect with them other than a simple phone call. To connect with Metro311, residents can dial 3-1-1 or (502) 574-5000 from a cellular or landline phone, send an email to Metro.311@louisvilleky.gov, mention them on X (formerly Twitter) @LouMetro311, download the free Metro311 app available for iOS or Android, or visit online at www.louisvilleky.gov/government/Metro311.
Metro311 is currently hiring for customer service positions. Those who want to make a difference in the community and are interested in a career with Metro311 are encouraged to apply.
Online survey available through September 30
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 30, 2024) – As part of Vision Zero Louisville – the city’s transportation safety initiative that prioritizes the prevention of fatal and serious injury crashes – partners of the initiative, including Louisville Metro Public Works and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, announced today that they are raising awareness about the relationship between speed, speeding and safety, as well as seeking public input on speeding and speed management in the community. Louisville residents are invited to share their experiences and opinions in a brief online survey, which is available through September 30, 2024.
The survey results – coupled with crash data, current local conditions, and a peer review of cities leading the way in terms of speed management and Vision Zero – will help shape Louisville’s first-ever Speed Management Plan. This plan is a multifaceted and balanced effort to manage speeds on non-interstate streets through roadway design, intersection design, modernizing policies and practices related to speed limits, and enforcement.
“The effects of speeding are deadly, and drivers on Louisville’s High Injury Network, where a majority of fatal and serious injury crashes occur, should be especially aware of their speed,” said Lt. Craig Browning, commander of LMPD’s Traffic Unit. “This Speed Management Plan is the right thing to do, and this community-informed effort will help us look at feasible and effective solutions to address speeding as we work toward our vision of zero roadway deaths by 2050.”
Vision Zero Louisville’s speeding survey coincides with a media blitz by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), as part the agency’s year-round Speeding Catches Up With You campaign focused on speed prevention on our nation’s roads. Studies show higher speeds result in greater impact at the time of a crash, which leads to more severe injuries and deaths. NHTSA reports speeding contributes to more than 25% of all traffic-related deaths nationwide.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2022, Louisville Metro Council passed an ordinance calling for zero roadway deaths by 2050 through the Vision Zero Louisville transportation safety initiative. The initiative is managed by Louisville Metro Public Works, in partnership with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, which in July reminded Kentuckians to slow down this summer through its “Not So Fast, KY” speed enforcement campaign. Vision Zero Louisville promotes a multi-layered approach to saving lives, including redesigning roadways to encourage appropriate speeds and improving trauma-related care for crash victims.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 30, 2024) – The Louisville Zoo proudly announces the birth of a Sumatran tiger cub, marking the first tiger birth in more than 20 years for the Zoo. Born at 7:40 p.m. on July 23, 2024, the cub is the offspring of 16-year-old male Kami Sambal (kah-me-sahm-ball) and 14-year-old female Jingga (Jean-gah; like the game). Both mother and cub are thriving under the dedicated care of the Zoo’s expert staff. Jingga is demonstrating all the appropriate behaviors of an experienced mother, grooming, nursing and carrying her neonate cub.
Currently, the newborn is behind the scenes bonding with mom. Plans for public viewing will be announced via the Zoo’s official channels and website soon. Guests are invited to follow updates and watch the tiger cub’s first weeks by viewing our Tiger Cub Cam at louisvillezoo.org/cubcam.
The last Sumatran tiger cubs born at the Zoo were Leela, Jai, and Mohan in April 2004, followed by two Amur, or Siberian tiger cubs, Irisa and Anya, in October of the same year.
"It’s been a long time since the Zoo has welcomed a tiger cub to our extended family and we are all excited by the arrival of this rare and endangered youngster," said Louisville Zoo Director Dan Maloney. "I commend the Islands and Animal Health teams for their efforts and invite our community to come celebrate with us as we watch this precious cub grow and progress."
A naming contest sponsored by Norton Children’s will be announced in the coming weeks.
Guests can also “adopt” the tiger cub through a special ADOPTS package which includes a mom and cub plushie, an adoption certificate, the adopter’s name listed on the Zoo’s website, a colorful Zoo magnet and two admission passes to visit to the Louisville Zoo — all for $99. Visit louisvillezoo.org/adopts for more information and to purchase.
About Sumatran Tigers
Sumatran Tigers, the last of the island tiger subspecies, are smaller than mainland tigers and are critically endangered. Fewer than 400 individuals are estimated to still survive in the wild. Found only on Sumatra, their habitat is threatened primarily by development for palm oil plantations. Palm oil is found in hundreds of foods, cosmetics and cleaning products. As worldwide demand for palm oil accelerates, so does the loss of vital tropical forest lands. These lands are home to thousands of unique plant and animal species. Choosing palm-oil free products and those containing sustainably grown palm oil helps preserve and protect wildlife and wild places.
Zoo Hours
The Zoo is open daily year-round. Summer hours are 10 a.m. ─ 5 p.m. (stay until 6 p.m.) through Sept. 22, 2024. The Zoo is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Day. Visit louisvillezoo.org for more info.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (July 31, 2024) – The Louisville Zoo has a vibrant new mural featuring a series of animals at the entrance, created by the talented local art collective Often Seen Rarely Spoken (OSRS). This exciting addition enhances the Zoo's entrance and is set to captivate visitors throughout the season.
“The new mural space was a perfect canvas for some animal artwork and nicely complements the new entrance signage that we installed last year,” said Dan Maloney, director of the Louisville Zoo.
Since forming in 2016, OSRS has made a significant impact on Louisville's visual culture, contributing more than 200 murals to the region. Their work includes high-profile collaborations with iconic organizations such as the Belle of Louisville, Racing Louisville, KFC YUM! Center, Norton Children’s Hospital and Louisville Slugger.
“We thoroughly enjoy contributing art to the visual culture of Louisville and think it’s important to capture the opportunity to communicate on blank wall space,” expressed the OSRS collective. “The Zoo is an icon of the city that we all grew up coming to, so it feels full circle coming back as adults to add a piece in the entryway that will be seen by every single person that comes to the zoo. Literally thousands of kids might be inspired by this art in the coming decade, and that effect is hard to measure right now, but we know it’s going to be impactful.”
The mural, which took a week to complete, involved meticulous planning and collaboration between the OSRS artists and zoo staff. “We wanted to create something that would resonate with visitors of all ages and become an integral part of their zoo experience,” said one of the OSRS artists.
Visitors are encouraged to share their photos and experiences on social media using the hashtag #WeAreLouZoo. Additionally, the Zoo has a range of exciting events to enjoy, making this the perfect time to visit. Visit louisvillezoo.org/events for more information.
Zoo Hours
The Zoo is open daily year-round. Spring/summer hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (stay until 6 p.m.). The Zoo is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day. Visit louisvillezoo.org for more information.
Trees are one of the most effective ways to deal with heat stress and improve air quality and public health. Louisville is in the process of developing an urban forest master plan to improve its trees and tree canopy so that all Louisville residents have access to the benefits that trees provide. Please consider providing input this summer - here's how. (Link: https://www.louisvilletreeplan.org/get-involved.html)

Recycling can seem confusing, and there’s often debate within households about whether something should go in the bin. That is where kNOw Waste Louisville’s Recycle Right Program can help. Since recycling is local, it’s important to learn what is accepted in your community rather than searching online. In Louisville, make sure to recycle these:
- Empty plastic bottles and containers from your kitchen, laundry, and bathroom.
- Empty metal cans, foil pans and wrap.
- Empty glass bottles and jars.
- Newspaper, magazines, mail, paper cups, and flattened cardboard.
- Empty food and drink cartons.
|
But with the endless amount of packaging types these days, residents are still often left with questions. So, instead it’s worth considering what is most detrimental to the recycling process and should definitely NOT be recycled at home:
-
Plastic bags and plastic wrap get caught in the machinery at the sorting facility. Instead, recycle at participating stores. And recycle items loosely and not tied up in plastic bags! (Shredded paper is an exception.)
-
Foam carryout and packaging materials are not able to be recycled here in Louisville, and they can cause litter when broken and blown off the sorting line. The only option is to put foam materials in the trash.
-
Hazardous items, like batteries, can spark fires at the recycling facility. Dispose of Household Hazardous Waste properly at the Haz Bin at 7501 Grade Lane.
-
Containers with large amounts of food or liquid contaminate other material. Containers don’t have to be squeaky clean – empty is fine.
-
Bulky rigid plastic items such as laundry baskets, storage bins, and toys can jam equipment designed for sorting smaller items.
-
Cords, strings, and chains can be dangerous to workers and the equipment at the sorting facility.
The Recycle Right Program brings feedback about residential recycling delivered right to their recycling cart. The educational program is designed to reduce recycling contamination and increase the quality of recycled materials so they are more valuable and more new products can be made from them. Leaving “oops” tags on recycling carts with these contaminants and providing positive feedback to those with only good recyclable materials is one of the most effective ways to reduce contamination. And it gets neighbors talking about recycling!
Since the program was fully implemented in November 2023, over 13,000 “Oops” and “Way to Know” tags have been attached to recycling carts all over Louisville/Jefferson County. So far, the program has shown to reduce the top two contaminants – plastic bags and bagged recycling – by 9%! After receiving feedback, an average of 66% of residents receive a “Way to Know” tag – an increase of 11%!
By educating residents at their cart, they get real time feedback and receive detailed information about what can and can’t be recycled! Learn more about this program at Louisvilleky.gov/RecycleRight.

Pop-Up Drop-Offs are free recycling and large item disposal events for residents of Jefferson County. They are held in various locations throughout the county once per month, March - November. These events are set up for residents to drop off material based on category:
- Large Household Items - the only category that goes to landfill
- Electronics - limit three; recycled
- Metal - recycled
- Household Recycling - recycled
- Yard Waste - composted
- Tires - limit four; recycled
- Document Shredding - recycled
- Prescription Medication - incinerated by Sheriff's office
- Shoes - donated to WaterStep
The most popular categories are Large Items, Document Shredding, and Electronics. As a free disposal/recycling option for so many different types of items, they are very popular! The average number of participants is more than 500, but the record attendance was 927 last November at UofL Shelby Campus!
The materials are weighed (or based on averages) and a landfill diversion rate is calculated. This past Saturday at Fern Creek Elementary/High School, the total weight of all categories was 102,521 lbs and 72,001 lbs were diverted away from the landfill giving us a 63.3% diversion rate - our highest so far this year! The average diversion rate so far this year is 53.3% and we hope it remains above 50% (or at least surpasses last year's diversion rate of 48.7%).
How can you help keep our diversion rate high? Separate your loads into the various categories! Specifically, metal items should not be mixed with other large household items and thrown into the landfill trucks.
For tips and to learn more about what items are accepted at the Pop-Up Drop-Off events, visit Louisvilleky.gov/PopUps. The next event is Saturday, August 24 at 3515 Newburg Rd.

Cannons Lane will be shut down and reroute the weekend of August 24th and 25th. Traffic will be rerouted down Winchester to Breckenridge and back up Willis. Traffic will remain open for residents to get in and out, but the entire intersection at Canterberry will be closed with no access to any side street or Cannons Lane. Signage will be visible to guide motorist during this short timeframe. The next step in the project is to retie the existing storm in the middle of that intersection. Thank you for your patience and for following the safety precautions in place!

Once again, our Public Works Electrical Maintenance (EM) team has stepped up to the plate. Partnering with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 5 on a resurfacing project, KYTC engineers took advantage of a prime opportunity to do a much-needed reconfiguration involving Frankfort Ave., Brownsboro Rd. and Mellwood Ave. The EM team made the needed signal modifications to the Frankfort & Mellwood signals by adding signals to the new westbound approach and the necessary accompanying overhead signage.
The new two-way section is on Mellwood Ave. between Frankfort Ave. & Brownsboro Rd. There we several additional intersections that needed signs removed and/or added to aid motorists with the reconfiguration.
It is worth mentioning that this project was swiftly completed despite a short time window and extremely hot weather conditions. So, a big thanks to the Electrical Maintenance team for their efficiency and dedication.
The team was led by the general foreman Dale Goss with the following crew members: Terri Pruitt, Jerome Evans, Zach Marlett, Tim Salings, Jeff Head, Scott Payne and Brooke Kruer.
