By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear announced the state's fourth-highest report of new COVID-19 cases and third-highest report of new COVID-19 deaths.

"We're going to pass 3,000 COVID-19 deaths in the commonwealth," said Gov. Beshear. "That is tragic. We can stop this. We need to wear masks.

That allows us to be fluid and flexible with a virus that appears to be mutating and spreading more aggressively."
