Daily News for Tuesday, October 13, 2020
Governor's Tuesday update, K-12 updates, rural updates By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Gov. Beshear continues to conduct news conference remotely as he and his family quarantine in the Governor's Mansion after they were potentially exposed to COVID-19 late Saturday afternoon through a member of the Governor's security detail. "We are striving to have a positive attitude, given that really so little is being asked of us. And if it prevents others from being exposed to this virus, we are more than willing to do it," the Governor said. The Beshear family will be tested regularly and will remain in quarantine until cleared by the Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH). "My entire family tested negative today," Gov. Beshear said. "We know it can take a while for the virus to manifest, and so we will be tested - I believe on Friday - again, but that was at least good to see." Case Information As of 4 p.m. Oct. 13, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 81,691 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 776 of which were newly reported Tuesday. One hundred and eleven of the newly reported cases were from children up to age 18, of which 22 were age 5 and under. The youngest was just 1 month old.
