Governor's Monday update: 5k cases last week By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). "What I hope really sinks in for everybody watching is the word 'urgency,'" the Governor said. "I believe that since maybe the traditional start of school, we have become more casual in our approach to COVID and our concerns about COVID, and how well we follow those rules and guidelines that are out there. It's been seven months and most of us have never had to deal with something like this for seven months. But the virus is here and it waits for us to get casual. When we get casual, what we see is alarming trends in the virus. We will get through this, but when we get to the other side, do you want to look back and think, 'We could have done better,' when doing better is about saving people's lives?" As of 4 p.m. Sept. 28, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 66,939 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 456 of which were newly reported Monday. Eighty-three of the newly reported cases were from children ages 18 and younger, of which 20 were children ages 5 and under. The youngest was only 6 months old. "Last week we had almost 5,000 cases in Kentucky - the most we have ever had. Now what we believe that we are seeing, I believe we're seeing it nationally, is the start of a new escalation," the Governor said. "As we come toward a fall season and winter, where more people are going to be inside and we know the virus spreads faster, we've got to do better than this. We can't be casual right now." Gov. Beshear also stressed the continued importance of everyone wearing face coverings, calling it the single most important thing all of us can do to fight COVID-19.
