Current KY Incidence Rate

64.03 per 100k population

Average daily incidence is calculated by using the number of cases with an investigation start date in previous
seven days and a specimen collection date or onset date less than 14 days prior to the investigation start
date. The population estimates used for the rate are the 2019 estimates from the US Census Bureau.
