Mask mandate changing for smaller, outdoor events By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Monday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced 1,726,346 Kentuckians have received at least their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The Governor said beginning tomorrow, based on recent studies and Kentucky's increasing number of vaccinations, the statewide mask mandate will no longer be in effect when Kentuckians are outside at events or venues with 1,000 people or fewer. "What this means is at events like the Kentucky Derby, you still have to wear a mask, but if you're at a backyard barbeque, your community pool or an outdoor wedding, you're not required to wear a mask," said Gov. Beshear. "We hope this is a relief for people, and remember, the state will be able to lift even more restrictions once the 2.5 million vaccine Team Kentucky Vaccination Challenge is reached." Masks are still recommended at outdoor events with 1,000 people or fewer, and the mask mandate is still in effect when Kentuckians are indoors or at any outdoor event with more than 1,000 people. Kentuckians should visit vaccinemap.ky.gov to find a COVID-19 vaccination site near where they live. National Women's Soccer League club Racing Louisville FC has announced it will host a pop-up COVID-19 vaccine clinic tonight at its game against the North Carolina Courage. The clinic will be run by Wild Health. Fans who sign up to receive a vaccine dose will receive free admission. Those who get vaccinated at the game but already have a ticket will be given a voucher to attend a future game free of charge. The vaccine appointments are available from 5 to 8 p.m. and can be made online, here. Case Information As of 4 p.m. Monday, April 26, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
Gov. Beshear Asks Artists to Apply to Design COVID-19 Memorial at State Capitol The Tourism, Arts, and Heritage Cabinet is requesting that artists apply to design the upcoming COVID-19 Memorial at the state Capitol. "As we get excited about a light at the end of the tunnel in the pandemic, we must also make sure we never forget the loss and sacrifices of so many Kentuckians during the last 14 months," said Gov. Beshear. Kentuckians can help make this memorial a reality by contributing to the Team Kentucky COVID-19 Memorial Fund. Dr. Stack Updates Kentuckians on Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, said the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) determined yesterday that the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) COVID-19 vaccine may be used in individuals 18 and older as outlined in the current FDA Emergency Use Authorization. All Kentucky vaccination sites may now resume use of the J&J vaccine with the inventory already in their possession, although vaccination sites may prefer to wait until more detailed guidance from the CDC and FDA is provided tomorrow. At present, new J&J vaccine shipments into Kentucky are not anticipated until the week of May 3. This story was posted on 2021-04-26 21:13:00
