The current COVID-19 case count across Northern Kentucky varies from zip code to zip code, data from the Northern Kentucky Health Department shows.
In a tweet on Friday, the health department said, in a graphic illustrating the current incidence rate across the region, We ve come too far and worked too hard to go back now.
The department said that COVID-19 cases are on the rise in the region.
The seven-day incidence rate is calculated by taking the total number of unique cases in a zip code over the past seven days, dividing it by seven to get a daily average, divided by the U.S. Census Bureau estimated population within the zip code, and multiplied by 100,000 to get the incidence rate per 100,000 people.
The caller is also able to mimic the sheriff s office true phone number.
The sheriff s office said that the scammer says there is an active warrant for missing court and that the resident can make arrangements over the phone with pre-paid credit cards or gift cards to take care of it.
The sheriff s office reminds residents that police agencies do not call about warrants for arrests. This is a SCAM, the sheriff s office said in a news release. Do not respond to this type of threat. Do not engage these callers. Do not give them any type of information. HANG UP ON THEM!
The announcement was first made at the city s Independence Day festival last weekend.
At the special city council meeting on Tuesday, Councilman Dave Shafer said that the Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association had a donation jar at a booth during the festival, which added $1,001 more dollars to the till.
Money is still coming in, he said.
Meanwhile, council listened to a presentation on the county-wide reevaluation of zoning, a project dubbed Z21.
Planning & Development Services of Kenton County Principal Zoning Official Krista Martin and Senior Planner Patrick Denbow presented the program which aims to reduce the current number of zones from 26 to 16.
