Thursday's total was the second-highest number of cases announced in a single day.

Since Tuesday, the number of people in the district under quarantine has doubled, while the number of positive cases has grown from 10 to 24.

The auction raises money for Rotary Scholars at Hopkinsville Community College. The program offers a two-year, full scholarship to every graduating senior from a high school in Christian County.

Many of the cases have occurred among residents of nursing homes, including Christian Health Center, where 31 residents had an active case of the virus as of Wednesday.

Communities in the red zone have weekly positive-test rates higher than 10% and more than one new case per 1,000 residents.

The lecture, at noon Thursday, will be available to the public through a video online.

Sixty-eight students and staff combined had to quarantine, according to the district report, but only three of those cases were a result of being a close contact to someone with COVID-19 in a school setting, according to the superintendent.

The auction runs through Saturday night.

The death of a 49-year-old woman marks the county's youngest virus-related victim to-date.

The reduced workforce affects the deeds and vehicle transfer offices.

The auction continues every night through Saturday. WHOP carries the auction nightly, and it is live-streamed on the Hopkinsville Rotary Club's website and Facebook page.

Church groups and other supporters staged two car parades Monday in front of Christian Health Center to show support for staff and residents.
