Regional vaccination sites to open Phase 1C appointments Mar 1 By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Monday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced COVID-19 cases have declined for six straight weeks in the commonwealth. He also reported the lowest number of new COVID-19 cases since Oct. 5. "The trends are going in a positive direction, perhaps the most positive since the pandemic began," said Gov. Beshear. "What that means is that we're doing a good job. Do I think that vaccines are starting to have an impact? Certainly in the long-term care community. Hopefully we'll see more of it in the overall state. But we're seeing more people wearing masks, engaging in social distancing, thinking about the number of contacts they have in their day, and it is working." The Governor announced that regional vaccination sites will open to Kentuckians in Phase 1C beginning March 1, and he expects other vaccination sites to move into Phase 1C around the same time. Gov. Beshear encouraged all vaccine sites to continue prioritizing Phase 1A and 1B individuals, even as 1C appointments are made as well. He asked all providers to continue outreach to vulnerable Kentuckians who may have a harder time navigating the vaccine sign-up system. More than 583,000 Kentuckians have received at least their first dose of the vaccine. Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, updated Kentuckians on the federal pharmacy program for COVID-19 vaccines. "The good news is, we have wildly expanded our vaccine provider network in a very short time frame," said Dr. Stack. "As of today, we have 47 independent pharmacies and 77 Walgreens pharmacies across the state participating in this program to help get vaccines to Kentuckians right in their local communities. We are going to continue to move progressively faster, getting closer and closer to where you live." Finally, the Governor highlighted a tragic milestone in the nation's war against COVID-19. "This country has now lost more than 500,000 Americans to the coronavirus. It is an almost unimaginable loss. While we have good news about the direction things are going, we're going to emerge from this with a lot of scars inside and out," said Gov. Beshear. "Let's all remember that we've got to love one another and be patient with one another through that. While I hope that we are months away from the end of this virus, it's going to take a little longer to process our collective grief." Case Information As of 4 p.m. Monday, Feb. 22, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
