Gov. Beshear calls for a safe, sustainable reopening Bowling Green is a hotspot. State officials providing additional support. By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Wednesday said Kentucky is focused on conducting a safe and sustainable reopening of the economy while continuing to fight against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). "Our goal is to reopen Kentucky's economy in a gradual and safe way, to ensure that we can get people back to work," the Governor said. "But at the same time, we acknowledge none of us have ever seen a worldwide pandemic like this in our lifetime." Gov. Beshear launched the Healthy at Work initiative in late April to guide the smart, safe and gradual reopening of the state's economy. He noted that Kentucky's plans closely follow the White House's Guidelines for Reopening America. "If you look at Kentucky's plan, it is more closely aligned with the White House's reopening plan and Dr. Anthony Fauci's advice than just about any other state that is moving forward with reopening," the Governor said. "It's very gradual, and that is by design to give us time to build capacity on testing and tracing." With more sectors being reopened, Gov. Beshear said all businesses must follow the 10 rules of staying healthy at work as well as industry-specific guidance. A full reopening schedule can be found here. The Governor said that while guidance and rules are important, the key to a successful reopening of the economy rests with all Kentuckians. "It's all going to come down to the people of Kentucky," he said. "The reason we were able to flatten the curve - and in Kentucky we have saved tens of thousands of lives - is because of our citizens." Gov. Beshear said maintaining vigilance about social distancing and hygiene, and being resilient in the face of continued sacrifices will save even more lives. He warned of possible regional outbreaks, such as the one occurring in the Bowling Green area of Warren County. "Let's remember this thing isn't gone, and even in places where it looks like there are relatively few cases, significant outbreaks can occur quickly," Gov. Beshear said. Case information As of 5 p.m. May 13, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 7,080 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 227 of which were newly confirmed Wednesday. Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear also reported five new deaths Wednesday, raising the total to 326 Kentuckians lost to the virus. The deaths reported Wednesday include an 88-year-old woman from Adair County; three women, ages 73, 89 and 97, from Boone County; and a 74-year-old woman from Marshall County. "Still five deaths to report today," Gov. Beshear said. "These are five families that are going to need us. We need to light our houses up green tonight. We need to ring our bells at 10 a.m. tomorrow morning. These are five families in communities that are going to be grieving. These are five Kentuckians taken from us by this virus and let's make sure that we remember that they are more than simply an age and a county." At least 2,649 Kentuckians have recovered from the virus.
