KYTC: Designate a Sober Driver this St. Patrick's Day By Erin G. Eggen Frankfort, KY - While this year's St. Patrick's Day celebrations will look a little different, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's (KYTC) Office of Highway Safety is joining the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in reminding motorists that Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving. "We understand it's been a tough year and Kentuckians are looking for a reason to celebrate; however, safety must be top priority," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "Please follow all COVID-19 precautions when out in public - wear a mask and maintain proper social distancing. If you plan to drink alcohol, plan for a safe ride home by designating a sober driver." Over the past two years, KYTC reports 34 crashes statewide related to a drunken driver on the St. Patrick's Day holiday, resulting in 14 injuries and one death.

Governor: Vaccines available for everyone by May 31 is goal By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Tuesday, Gov. Andy Beshear reported 819 new COVID-19 cases, 24 COVID-19 deaths and a positivity rate of 3.87%. "This week, while we are so hopeful, this virus is still out there and it is still dangerous. Please continue to wear your mask and social distance - even if you've been vaccinated, you have a duty to everybody else who is still waiting for their vaccine," said Gov. Beshear. "Remember, by May 31, we believe every Kentucky adult who wants a vaccine will have gotten at least their first shot of hope. We believe that we will beat the president's goal to open appointments up to everybody 16 and up by May 1." The Governor also said 11 Kentuckians have recently returned from countries currently experiencing an Ebola outbreak (Guinea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo). Local health departments contact travelers, assess exposure risk, educate those travelers about what to do if they have symptoms and quarantine those at high risk for 21 days. None of the 11 people has been deemed high-risk for exposure. "We are working with our hospitals to make sure they are ready to handle any suspect patients for 12 to 24 hours," said Gov. Beshear. "We have six Ebola Assessment Hospitals that are working with us to make sure they are prepared to handle potential patients and assessments for Ebola."
