Governor's Monday update: Positivity rate 4.69% 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). "Because of the increase in positive cases that we're seeing and with the weeks that are likely ahead, we are going to need to hear and to know that we're going to get through this and we're going to get through this together," the Governor said. "If the current trends continue, it will be a difficult fall and a difficult winter, but I believe that we have the opportunity to improve our situation. One of the big ways we do that is wearing a mask." Case Information - Monday, Oct. 5 As of 4 p.m. Oct. 5, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 73,158 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 543 of which were newly reported Monday. Sixty-nine of the newly reported cases were from children ages 18 and younger, of which nine were children ages 5 and under. The youngest was only 1 month old. "I believe that is the highest Monday, certainly in the last four weeks and by an appreciable amount," the Governor said. Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported five new deaths Monday, raising the total to 1,214 Kentuckians lost to the virus. The deaths reported Monday include a 69-year-old man from Boyd County; an 85-year-old man and two women, ages 91 and 99, from Daviess County; and a 71-year-old man from Robertson County. "More cases equal more death," the Governor said. "If we are more casual, as opposed to more urgent, we will lose more of our family and friends. It's hard because you can't see it, but it happens. If we aren't strong, other people typically pay for it. Let's be strong." As of Monday, there have been at least 1,539,707 coronavirus tests performed in Kentucky. The positivity rate was 4.69%, and at least 12,445 Kentuckians have recovered from the virus. Case Information - Sunday, Oct. 4 Due to limited reporting on the weekends, some updated information is now available from Sunday, Oct. 4. As of Sunday, there were 1,531,072 coronavirus tests performed in Kentucky. The positivity rate was at 4.76% and at least 12,178 Kentuckians had recovered from the virus. For a detailed look at coronavirus case information from Sunday, Oct. 4, can be found under the daily reports section at kycovid19.ky.gov. Dr. Stack Update Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, provided an updated Monday on the state of the coronavirus fight in Kentucky. "We are clearly now in an escalation. There is no doubt about it," Dr. Stack said. "We are unfortunately now on an experiment here in the state of Kentucky to prove or disprove, in a manner of speaking, if our rural state will experience the same tragedies that have unfolded elsewhere. I think one of the tragedies that plays in to this is this is something that is at least theoretically in our control if we choose different behaviors." This story was posted on 2020-10-05 17:27:31
