Reports of a surge in coronavirus cases in southeastern Kentucky, which health officials blamed on complacency and churches reopening, are confirmed by data and illustrated by an interactive New York Times map that shows counties with rising cases rates in the last two weeks. Clay, Jackson and Laurel counties are in the top rank, with Pike, Madison and Scott counties in the next category.

At least 60 of the 639 inmates at the state women's prison have tested positive for the coronavirus, with 180 test results pending, after all inmates were tested, state officials said. Six employees at Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women at the western tip of Shelby County, near the Oldham County town of Pewee Valley, also tested positive. "A federal judge this week ruled against seven inmates with health problems who sued for immediate release or transfer to home confinement," the Lexington Herald-Leader reports.
