Gov. Beshear provides update on COVID-19 By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear said that there has been a substantial decrease in Kentucky's new COVID-19 cases, however deaths remain high. "For the most part we have good news today. Cases are significantly, if not rapidly, declining," said Gov. Beshear. "We believe the weather and a lot of places closing for a number of days last week did have an impact. This may make the drop in cases look a little bit larger than it would otherwise be. Regardless, we are definitely moving in the right direction." The Governor added, "This is still the fifth highest week in our entire COVID experience. So while we are moving in the right direction, there is still a whole lot of virus out there. We ask people to be careful in the next couple weeks. Next month we may see really serious reductions which might get us to a place we can all be really excited about." COVID-19 Case Information, Vaccinations Update
The Governor reviewed a slide from the CDC and said that the use of face masks or respirators is recommended to reduce the transmission of COVID-19. Wearing a mask in indoor public spaces lowers the odds of testing positive for COVID-19. The Governor said that Pfizer and BioNTech are requesting emergency use authorization for their two-dose COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 6 months up to 5 years. The FDA's advisory committee will meet February 15 to discuss the submission. Super Bowl Guidance The Governor provided tips to enjoy Super Bowl Sunday safely. Gov. Beshear encouraged Kentuckians to:
The Governor announced that he partnered with Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) to launch the Team Kentucky Homeowner Assistance Fund, a program that can help homeowners impacted by the pandemic rebound and avoid foreclosure. The program is funded through $85.4 million in federal American Rescue Plan Act funds that the commonwealth received to protect homeowners impacted by COVID-19. To learn more, see the full release. The Governor also reminded Kentucky renters who suffered financially due to COVID-19 that the $264 million Healthy at Home Eviction Relief Fund is still in place to assist them with housing and utility payments. At least $95.7 million remains available to assist Kentucky renters. To learn more and apply for assistance, visit TeamKYHHERF.ky.gov. This story was posted on 2022-02-07 20:58:03
