Governor urges counties to implement new recommendations By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear urged every Kentuckian in 68 red zone counties to up their game in the fight against COVID-19 and follow nine recommendations beginning Monday, Nov. 2, through Sunday, Nov. 8, to reduce the spread of COVID-19 as cases flare in those areas. "This is a type of outbreak where we can't deny our way out of it, we can't rationalize our way out of it, we can't try to find excuses for not following the guidance," said Gov. Beshear. Schools, businesses, community leaders and Kentuckians in red zone counties - published every Thursday afternoon on kycovid19.ky.gov - should follow the below recommendations the upcoming week. Red Zone Reduction Recommendations:
Case Information As of 4 p.m. Thursday, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
The top counties with the most positive cases today are: Jefferson, Fayette, Hardin, Kenton and Warren. Today's red zone counties are listed here, alphabetically and by incidence rate: 20201029_COVID-19_Incidence-Rates (PDF). Those reported lost to the virus today include a 68-year-old man from Adair County; a 75-year-old man from Calloway County; a 93-year-old man from Casey County; an 81-year-old man from Daviess County; a 65-year-old man from Fayette County; two women, ages 83 and 88, and two men, ages 88 and 90, from Jefferson County; a 73-year-old man from Jessamine County; a 72-year-old man from Lee County; a 61-year-old woman from McLean County; an 80-year-old woman from Meade County; a 71-year-old man from Muhlenberg County; a 68-year-old woman from Rowan County; a 58-year-old man from Russell County; a 68-year-old woman from Shelby County; an 87-year-old woman from Warren County; and an 89-year-old woman from Whitley County. Gov. Beshear reminds Kentuckians to light their homes and businesses up green to show compassion for those lost to COVID-19. Unemployment Insurance Updates Amy Cubbage, the Governor's general counsel, today talked about a new way of reporting unemployment insurance (UI) claims. In order to best serve those claimants who have been waiting the longest, the cabinet is now sorting claims by date of filing. Cubbage said that Labor Cabinet Secretary Larry Roberts, at the Governor's direction, has requested from the U.S. Department of Labor (US DOL) the ability to waive the obligation to obtain repayment of mistakenly-paid benefits that may have occurred after the federal government changed their eligibility guidance. "We have not heard back from U.S. DOL but remain hopeful we will be allowed some flexibility on these overpayments," Cubbage said. "If granted, we will be able to provide significant relief to many Kentuckians." As a part of a project to upgrade the UI computer system to be more user-friendly, there are some upcoming dates the system will be down for claimants. Kentuckians will not be able to file a claim or claim benefits during these planned outages: Friday, Nov. 6, and Saturday, Nov. 7; Thursday, Nov. 26, through Saturday, Nov. 28; and briefly after business hours on Dec. 15. Cubbage also warned Kentuckians to be on the lookout for email scammers using this fake account: PUA@unemployment.usdol.gov. She said scammers are trying to obtain personal information and shared tips to avoid the scam:
