Guidance as of May 20, 2022
Community Level COVID-19 Guidance
**For the most recent COVID-19 Case Numbers, by county, click here. Beginning Monday, March 7, 2022, COVID-19 data will be reported weekly and updated each Monday by 5pm. **
The CDC launched COVID-19 Community Levels as a new way to monitor the number of COVID-19 cases in communities and the burden that COVID-19 is placing on local hospital systems. The COVID-19 Community Levels combine the metrics of COVID-19 hospital admissions and hospital capacity data that are reported directly from healthcare facilities to HHS with case data to identify when a community is facing a Low, Medium, or High level of risk from COVID-19.
KDPH has aligned their guidance with the CDC’s Community Level guidance and has applied that framework to a map of Kentucky counties. KDPH will update this map on Fridays. Individuals can go HERE and see Bullitt County’s community level and the prevention measures that are recommended.

Get free COVID test kits at COVIDtests.gov
The tests are completely free. There are no shipping costs, and you don’t have to give a credit card or bank account number. You only need to give a name and address. Once you place an order, you’ll get an order confirmation number. If you give your email address, you’ll also get an order confirmation email and delivery updates. Anyone who asks for more information than that is a scammer. So, remember:- Go to COVIDtests.gov or call 1-800-232-0233 (TTY 1-888-720-7489) to order your free COVID test kits from the federal government. Online, if you click to order, you’ll be redirected to special.usps.com/testkits.
- No one will call, text, or email you from the federal government to ask for your information to “help” you order free kits. Only a scammer will contact you, asking for information like your credit card, bank account, or Social Security number. Do not respond. Instead, report it to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
