Second Positive COVID-19 Case in Lyon County

Lyon County has its second confirmed case of COVID-19.

Lyon County Judge Executive Wade White said in a Facebook post Tuesday night a 97-year-old woman has tested positive for the virus. She is a resident at River's Bend Nursing Home.

White says the woman has been admitted to a Tennessee hospital for treatment. Authorities with the Kentucky State Health Department are reportedly working to trace everyone who has been in contact with the woman and notify them.

"I ask you to, if you would, pray for the family of the person with the virus," White said. "Pray for our workers there, our residents there. I will keep you updated on everything that I can possibly update you on. Remember, keep social distancing. Just stay away from people. Just keep that six-foot distance. We've got to keep this virus down."

White said he is working on getting the tests the county needs to determine who else may have been exposed to the virus.
