Governor: 25% of KY adults have received a COVID-19 vaccine Eighth straight week of declining cases; positivity rate has declined to 4.06% By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Monday, Gov. Beshear announced 834,130 Kentuckians - 25% of Kentucky adults - have now received at least one dose of one of three highly effective COVID-19 vaccines. Gov. Beshear also announced Kentucky has now seen eight straight weeks of declining COVID-19 cases. Today's COVID-19 report includes the lowest number of new cases since Sept. 14. "This is the exact type of trajectory we want to see as we are vaccinating people," said Gov. Beshear. "This is in many ways a race against time against the variants. If we can continue that downward trajectory while increasing the number of people vaccinated, we can hopefully get to the end of this thing sooner rather than later. The President has made a promise that all adults who want to be vaccinated will be able to get their first shot by at least the end of May." The Governor also updated Kentuckians who have suffered due to recent ice storms and record flooding. "The Federal Emergency Management Agency is on the ground right now evaluating both events," said Gov. Beshear. "I have spoken today with our contact in the Biden Administration stressing how critical this is and the importance of individual assistance. To anybody out there who lost their home, had it damaged or the rest, please document every one of those losses." Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, updated Kentuckians on new guidance for fully vaccinated individuals from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). "For adults who are fully vaccinated, the CDC is now saying those individuals within their own homes can gather in small groups with other fully vaccinated adults," said Dr. Stack. "If vaccinated and unvaccinated people are mixed together in a gathering, generally you should still practice social distancing and wear your masks. "The other guidance - and this is really important - when you are out in public settings, whether you are vaccinated or not, please wear your masks, social distance, wash your hands and continue to do those behaviors until we get everybody vaccinated, particularly the most vulnerable in society. There has also been no relaxation of the travel guidance by the CDC yet in relation to vaccination status. The new guidance released today is great news overall, but we still have to be careful." Case Information As of 4 p.m. Monday, March 8, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
Kentucky's COVID-19 Vaccine Website, vaccine.ky.gov, shows Kentuckians which phase they are in specifically. Individuals can sign up for notifications so state officials can communicate with them when doses become available at new and existing sites. Vaccine.ky.gov also lists regional vaccination partners statewide, so Kentuckians can search their county or region and see how to schedule an appointment. Kentucky's COVID-19 Vaccine Hotline, 855-598-2246, has the same features as the website. Kentuckians can get assistance completing the vaccine eligibility questionnaire and scheduling an appointment when doses are available. This story was posted on 2021-03-08 18:16:06
