Governor's Friday Update: 679 new cases By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Friday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in the commonwealth. "In my core, I want to get our kids back in classes. I want to get my kids back in class," said Gov. Beshear. "My job is to tell people when I don't believe it's safe even if it's unpopular. It is my job to make sure I do the very best I can for Kentuckians." Case Information As of 4 p.m. Aug. 14, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 38,298 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 679 of which were newly reported Friday. Twenty-two of the newly reported cases were from children ages 5 and younger. "Today we continue to see high numbers of COVID-19 cases," said Gov. Beshear. "At best we are at a plateau thanks to people's wearing of facial coverings and we still need more time to reach a decline to get this state in the place we really need to be to do so many activities that we want." Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported eight new deaths Friday, raising the total to 804 Kentuckians lost to the virus. The deaths reported Friday include an 85-year-old woman from Bell County; an 85-year-old woman from Casey County; a 63-year-old woman from Christian County; two women, ages 82 and 92, from Franklin County; a 75-year-old woman from Hopkins County; an 83-year-old woman from Jefferson County; and a 77-year-old woman from Lewis County. "Those are most likely moms, grandmothers, sisters, who people have lost," said Gov. Beshear. "Aunts, loved ones. So let's make sure that for them we are strong, we light those green lights and we ring those bells every day at 10 a.m." As of Friday, there have been at least 743,500 coronavirus tests performed in Kentucky. The positivity rate currently stands at 5.68%. At least 9,021 Kentuckians have recovered from the virus. This story was posted on 2020-08-14 15:54:35
