Governor: Rising COVID cases are cause for concern By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Wednesday updated Kentuckians on the state's continued efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). "I hope you had a good Fourth of July weekend, but I hope it was safe, and it's important that it was safe, because while we have been at a plateau in Kentucky, really for several weeks, over the last four to six days we are seeing larger numbers," said Gov. Beshear. As of 4 p.m. July 8, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 17,919 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 402 of which were newly reported Wednesday. "The rising case numbers are cause for concern, so tomorrow we're going to announce some new requirements that are going to be mandatory," said Gov. Beshear. "Given what we are seeing across the country with exploding numbers in certain places, my commitment is to make sure that doesn't happen here, but I can't do it alone." Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported six new deaths Wednesday, raising the total to 608 Kentuckians lost to the virus. The deaths reported Wednesday include a 72-year-old man from Casey County; a 67-year-old man from Fulton County; two women, ages 73 and 77, and a 61-year-old man from Jefferson County; and a 74-year-old woman from Perry County. "That is far too many Kentuckians to lose, and we've got to do everything we can to minimize our loss moving forward," said Gov. Beshear. As of Wednesday, there have been at least 451,451 coronavirus tests performed in Kentucky. At least 4,912 Kentuckians have recovered from the virus. This story was posted on 2020-07-08 15:27:38
