Governor, Dr. Stack update Kentuckians on Healthy at Work policies By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Monday, Gov. Andy Beshear and Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, updated Kentuckians on the state's Healthy at Work requirements aimed at keeping all employees and their families safe. The Healthy at Work minimum requirements list has been simplified and now applies to all businesses. "We have fought really hard to get where we are - a much better place than in the fall and winter - allowing us to streamline some of our guidance," said Gov. Beshear. "I hope people are able to enjoy some of these capacity increases. We can do so safely if we continue to wear our masks." The minimum requirements list includes specifications for:
Only a few types of businesses still have supplemental Healthy at Work requirements: health care facilities; wedding, funeral or memorial service venues; restaurants and bars; pools and bathing facilities; and gyms, sports and exercise activities. "What we're doing today is simplifying our guidance so it's easier for Kentuckians to follow and easier for them to stay safe," said Dr. Stack. "I look forward to the day when we put COVID behind us and none of these requirements are necessary. The way we get there is for everyone to make the choice to get vaccinated. These vaccines are amazing tools to help us get our lives back." Gov. Beshear also said that Black and Hispanic Kentuckians are no longer disproportionately represented among the commonwealth's COVID-19 deaths. "I'm proud to report in our newest statistics, we have now either achieved proportionate or even disproportionately low numbers of COVID-19 cases and deaths among most groups of minority Kentuckians," said Gov. Beshear. "For instance, Black and African-American Kentuckians make up 8.4% of the state's population; to date, they make up only 8% of all of Kentucky's COVID-19 cases and 8.1% of Kentucky's COVID-19 deaths. This used to be 16% and it's been cut in half." Case Information As of 4 p.m. Monday, April 19, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers: Kentuckians vaccinated (have received at least one dose): 1,665,196*
