HEALTH DEPT PHONER

At can be a little warm in the low 40s ... i think you'll is a for that following yesterday's record highs eagle day for coronavirus case numbers across the they were getting a check in now the lexington fayette county health department near christina king is joining us by phone christin good morning to join us.

We should good morning you avidly was for the store as we always do you have the most recent numbers for today.

I do were working on getting a numbers update on the website right now it looks like the numbers were reporting today for tomorrow or for you today.

I'm sorry 330 new cases reported to the end of th day yesterday ... we've seen these numbers increase.

If we thought we had no like a decrease in some numbers for a while was the biggest cause of the studiously ... i think at this point that we can narrow down one cause i think a safe assumption could b c1 3 two weeks in a row of long weekends and holidays, which means that labs were closed, certain days, so there might be a little bit of a lag and delay on the cases being reported overseeing big lumps of larger reports coming in to mak up for those days that the labs were closed so i'm at this point i don't think we see an increas long enough outside of those tw holidays to be concerned with a huge increase.

Yet, you know needs to happen on a regular basis in order for us to consider it a trend i don't i don't think there's cause for alarm there yet but we need to keep an eye on slowly increasing to we been talking a little bit more about this vaccine taskforces now been established in the city are you guys working with that task force in and trying to i guess update any officials on what yo guys are learning day-to-day ... we are working anyone we need t work with the point on the vaccine clinic.

There were with him.

Currently we have order was lexington medical society to c1 3 execute our vaccine clinics.

We've been doing, we'v done a total of three of those now and yesterday we got out over 1300 vaccine so you know were increasing out each week and moving full steam as you increase those dugas is finding is a with him without a works and how that's going work as we move into the future with as well.

Exactly.

In addition, each week we do it.

It just gives us more more knowledge and more skilled to do it better the next week and one thing the public needs to understand his.

We can only give the vaccines as quickly as we get them were only given so many each week.

We don't know how many that's goin to be until we get them so once we get them.

We make sure that we use them all so were doing this on a week by week basis an while we want to get these out to you as quickly as we possibl can safely as we possibly can a well point to bring up to chris and i talked about the phases where they were going through and working on when we get out these vaccines to the different groups here, how he is doing in terms of the phases i know you later just giving out the vaccines as you get them, but are we still on track ... we were still on page 1 a which c1 3 providers from practices not registered t receive doses of the vaccine through their employer and are not associated with a hospital and they had direct cove in 19 c1 3 one a we have over 20,000 medical workers her in lexington.

It is so easy to take us a bit to get through those 20,000 people and then once they are vaccinated, then there's a good portion of those it will also then be able to ge the vaccine as well so i can se each week.

It's just going to ... thank you so much for coming on genesis was one more thing about one let everyone know i without a lot of questions about the medical professionals about how they'll know when they can register for the vaccine clinic and we now have on our website.
