Public health restrictions will change on Monday, Dec. 14 By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that public health restrictions will change Monday, Dec. 14, but said the state's virus fight depends on all Kentuckians continuing to do the right things, in particular, wearing masks, social distancing and keeping gatherings small. He reported the state's highest-ever number of new COVID-19 cases; however, the state's positivity rate declined for the seventh straight day. "When we talk about COVID being a fast moving train, it doesn't just immediately turn; you have to slow it down, stop it and turn it around. We still believe that's what we're seeing," said Gov. Beshear. "We may also be seeing some of the impact from Thanksgiving in these numbers, that we could be moving in the right way, but still, Thanksgiving has a major impact. I can tell you that if we are seeing Thanksgiving's impact, it's a lot less than what we are seeing in some other states." On Dec. 14, Kentucky's public health restrictions and recommendations will include:
Today, Gov. Beshear and executives from Protective Life Corp. announced the company will relocate its core site in the greater Cincinnati region to Covington. The new location positions Protective Life for long-term employee and business growth. The initial move to RiverCenter Towers in downtown Covington will bring approximately 100 well-paying jobs to Kentucky in 2021. As the company grows over the next decade, leaders expect to more than double that employee count. In addition, in a win for Kentucky's growing agritech sector, Gov. Beshear and leaders from EnviroFlight LLC announced the company's plans to add 40 jobs in Maysville with a nearly $20 million expansion. EnviroFlight, which produces black soldier fly larvae for animal and plant nutrition, established its Kentucky production facility just two years ago. Case Information As of 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 10, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
The new red zone counties for this week can be found here: https://chfs.ky.gov/Pages/cv19maps.aspx. Community leaders, businesses, schools and families in these counties should all follow red zone reduction recommendations, as well as other orders and guidance. Those reported lost to the virus today include two men, ages 61 and 72, from Adair County; a 63-year-old woman from Barren County; a 61-year-old woman from Boyd County; a 71-year-old man from Casey County; a 94-year-old woman from Christian County; an 83-year-old woman from Clinton County; a 92-year-old woman from Cumberland County; a 95-year-old woman from Fayette County; a 78-year-old man from Fleming County; a 93-year-old man from Henderson County; two women, ages 70 and 96, from Hopkins County; a 91-year-old woman and four men, ages 69, 70, 72 and 88, from Jefferson County; a 75-year-old man from Martin County; a 96-year-old man from McCracken County; a 92-year-old woman from Montgomery County; a 97-year-old woman and a 99-year-old man from Oldham County; a 59-year-old man from Owsley County; two men, ages 81 and 88, from Russell County; an 85-year-old woman from Taylor County; and a 74-year-old man from Wayne County. Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Department for Public Health, noted that different Kentucky regions have between 54% and 87% of hospital beds already in use; in addition, Kentucky regions have between 61% and 96% of ICU beds already filled. "With these hospitalization and ICU numbers, you start having to make more difficult choices, including having to postpone or defer surgeries or procedures for patients who would have to stay in the hospital afterwards," said Dr. Stack. "For example, people who have large aneurysms in their aorta come into the hospital, have a major surgery oftentimes, and may have to stay in the hospital for multiple days. If it's not an immediate emergency, hospitals may have to postpone that kind of surgery because they have so few beds available." This story was posted on 2020-12-10 17:50:49
