NKU COVID-19 cases have been tracked for the last year or so and have, overall, been low compared to the rest of the surrounding Northern Kentucky counties. However, steps still need to be taken to overcome this virus once and for all.
According to the Northern Kentucky Health Departmentâs website, COVID cases within NKUâs zip code (41099) spiked in the late summer and early fall months of 2020 and again in the winter months of 2020 and 2021. The highest peak of COVID cases around NKU occurred during the winter months when nearly 25 cases per 100,000 people were reported.
