SUNDAY'S COVID-19 REPORT

 

 

The Governor praised the thousands of health care workers, front-line workers, and everyday heroes as well.


Gov. Beshear urged people to sign up for testing at four recently announced new drive-through testing sites, one of those being in Somerset. People in and around the testing site communities can sign up for testing that begins tomorrow. Those who are seeking to obtain a test can get location and registration details at KROGERHEALTH.COM/COVIDTESTING. Those eligible for the tests include people exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19, including fever, shortness of breath and cough; health care workers and first responders who may have been exposed to coronavirus; and anyone with mild symptoms who also may have been exposed to COVID-19. The testing is done free of charge. The overall goal of the partnership is to conduct 20,000 tests over the next five weeks. Test results are expected within approximately 48 hours.


Gov. Beshear reiterated the details about newly announced benchmarks that the commonwealth must meet in order to start reopening the state’s economy while keeping Kentuckians safe from the novel coronavirus. The Governor said the state’s seven benchmarks – which reflect guidance from the White House – would determine the phases for reopening parts of the economy.


As of yesterday Gov. Beshear announced the highest number of cases to be reported which was 273 new confirmed cases. Bringing the statewide total to 2,960.
Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear also reported four new deaths Sunday, raising the state’s total to 148 deaths related to the virus.
At least 1,122 people have recovered from COVID-19 in Kentucky. 
To date, at least 32,319 people have been tested. At least 1,011 people have ever been hospitalized with 265 currently hospitalized.
At least 532 have ever been in the ICU with at least 149 people currently in the ICU.
