As the initial doses of the COVID-19 vaccine arrived in the city, the number of positive cases has been on a downward trend from a daily incidence rate of 73.2 last month to 50.6 today. Dr. Moyer cautioned that despite the decrease in cases that residents must remain vigilant with mask-wearing, washing hands and staying socially distant as the virus is still present with Louisville’s current incidence rate being double the 25 cases per 100,000 keeping the city at a critical level.
