Governor: State surpasses 3 million tests By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear heralded some positive signs in Kentucky's fight against the coronavirus: Daily, week-over-week positive cases fell by 1,000 Tuesday and the commonwealth surpassed more than 3 million COVID-19 tests administered. "We have built in the last nine months a system that provides over 350 testing locations, that has now done more than 3 million tests in a state that 4.4 million people," the Governor said. Gov. Beshear also highlighted a new amicus brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court by the American Medical Association and the Louisville Metro Department of Public Health & Wellness. The brief emphasizes that Gov. Beshear's recent orders had detailed scientific rationale: "The public health order at issue in this case, which temporarily ordered the closure of all Kentucky schools from kindergarten through high school for in-person learning, was based on sound scientific considerations. "The Declaration of Dr. Steven J.

It also explains why other Kentucky institutions may face fewer restrictions. Dr. Stack's declaration is based on solid medical reasoning, which is largely apparent from the declaration itself. The district court, however, asserted that Dr. Stack and the Governor had inadequately explained why K-12 schools should close, while other institutions can remain open." Case Information As of 4 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
