Darren Doyle, story:
The Barren River District Health Department has issued a press release today with updated COVID-19 numbers from the area for the first time since September 11th. We reached out again this morning to inquire about data for Edmonson County and received this response from Ashli McCarty, BRDHD Marketing & Communications Coordinator:

"...we apologize for this inconvenience. This down time is due to a system update involving thousands of data points that our staff are having to manually sort and check for accuracy. We are working very hard to ensure our system is up and running as soon as possible so we can continue providing information to our communities. I have been told by those involved that we should be able to provide an update this afternoon if no further issues arise. We appreciate your patience during this time."

We received the press release just a few moments ago that listed Edmonson County as having a total number of 10 current active known positive cases, (149 confirmed positive cases minus 127 recoveries and 12 deaths). Deaths have not changed in Edmonson County in nearly three months.
