Gov. Beshear: New Highest Week of COVID-19 Cases By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear announced on Saturday that Kentucky has had its new highest week of COVID-19 cases, even with one day left to report and encouraged Kentuckians to keep fighting. "With a day still to go, we have set a new one-week record for highest cases in the commonwealth," Gov. Beshear said. "We are all sacrificing so much right now; we are all tired - but let's do what it takes to crush this third surge of cases and defeat this virus once and for all." "The imminent arrival of COVID-19 vaccines is a monumental scientific accomplishment offering great hope that this devastating pandemic can at last be ended," commented Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Department for Public Health. "Initially, though, very limited quantities of vaccine coupled with complicated and changing distribution logistics mean not everyone can have access at the very start. It's essential that everyone work together and know that all Kentuckians will be given access as rapidly as vaccine supplies, shipping, storage, and handling limitations allow. There is a bright light of hope ahead; let's all support each other as we look forward to better days soon." Case Information As of 4 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
