Gov. Beshear Provides COVID-19 Update By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear and Department for Public Health Commissioner Dr. Steven Stack discussed Friday's updated guidance and data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and provided information on living as safely as possible with COVID. The CDC is now using a new "community transmission" model that uses the number of new COVID-19 cases at a county level, percent of hospital capacity devoted to COVID-19 patients and the number of new patients with COVID admitted to the hospital in the past week. This data is produced, mapped and will be updated weekly at the county level on the CDC website. The Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) will take the data file produced by the CDC and use it to generate a three-tiered, stoplight-colored map that will be posted on kycovid19.ky.gov to make it easy for Kentuckians to quickly see the transmission level for their own county. This will be updated weekly when the CDC shares and posts its new data. Kentuckians are strongly encouraged to align their personal mitigation measures to the risk level of their county and the matching guidance in this table: https://governor.ky.gov/attachments/20220228_COVID-Briefing-Slides_SStack.pdf. KDPH will also update its K-12 school guidance. Vaccination, disease isolation, targeted mask use and test-to-stay programs are strongly encouraged. Detailed documents to provide further details for schools are currently being revised to align with new CDC guidance. Gov. Beshear also announced that masks are no longer required in state office buildings. However, the following agencies will continue to require face coverings: Kentucky Department of Veteran Affairs-run nursing homes; Department of Corrections correctional institutions; Cabinet for Health and Family Services-run psychiatric hospitals and immediate care facilities; agencies providing food, beverage and housekeeping services; and other congregant settings as determined by an agency's appointing authority. "I ask everyone to be thoughtful about your and your family's personal safety. If you have pre-existing conditions, consider continuing to mask up. If you interact with the public a lot, consider continuing to mask up," said Gov. Beshear. "To everybody, let's be respectful and even encouraging of people's decision that they want to continue to mask." The Governor and Dr. Stack also said baseline guidance for living safely with COVID includes:
COVID-19 Case Information, Vaccinations Update
Dr. Stack also warned Kentuckians about Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome (MIS-C), a rare but serious condition that occurs two to six weeks after COVID-19 infection. MIS-C occurs most often in school-age children and can also occur after asymptomatic or mild COVID-19 illness. To prevent MIS-C, Kentuckians must prevent the spread of COVID-19 and lessen its impact by getting vaccinated. Improving statewide vaccination rates of school-age children is key to protecting them from this potentially devastating complication. This story was posted on 2022-03-01 06:01:11
