Gov. Beshear provides Tornado Response Update By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - On Monday, January 24, 2022, the Governor provided an update related to the deadly tornadoes that occurred this past December.

Checks should go out within the next two weeks. The number of Kentuckians who are eligible to receive FEMA benefits and the extra 20% includes at least 475 uninsured homeowners and 987 uninsured renters. He said that, to date, FEMA and the U.S. Small Business Administration have approved nearly $36 million in total federal assistance for survivors.

Gov. Beshear provides update on COVID-19 By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - On Monday, January 24, 2022, Gov. Andy Beshear said that his son, Will, tested positive for COVID-19 and is generally asymptomatic, adding that his son is fully vaccinated and recently received his booster shot. The Governor and the rest of the family tested negative for the virus today. The Governor was tested twice today and said he will continue to be tested daily and follow U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Gov. Beshear joined today's briefing remotely to provide an update on COVID-19 and tornado relief. He encouraged parents to get their children vaccinated and boosted if they are eligible. "My son is generally asymptomatic, we believe because he is vaccinated and boosted," said Gov. Beshear. "In fact, he is shooting basketball right now, by himself. The vaccines and booster truly protected him." The Governor said among Kentucky children ages 5 to 11, only 13.3% are fully vaccinated. "Approximately 25% of new COVID-19 cases reported each day in Kentucky are children. Vaccination provides assurance that children can remain in school and protected against COVID-19," said Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health. "For parents who have not yet vaccinated your children, I encourage you to talk with your pediatrician. It's important that you make an informed decision and have confidence that you are taking important steps to keep your children safe from this disease that has caused so much harm to our families and communities."
