Yesterday Gov. Andy Beshear announced the launch of “Healthy at Work,” a new initiative to help Kentucky businesses reopen safely as we fight the novel coronavirus 2019.

 
Healthy at Work offers a phased approach to reopening Kentucky’s economy. It is based on criteria set by public health experts and advice from industry experts. Businesses can visit HealthyAtWork.ky.gov to get more information and resources.

Also as of yesterday, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 3,192 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 177 of which were newly confirmed.

Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear also reported 17 new fatalities, raising the state’s toll to 171 related to the virus.

At least 1,266 people have recovered from COVID-19 in Kentucky.

To date, there have been 33,328 people tested. At least 1,076 people have ever been hospitalized with 286 currently hospitalized.

558 individuals have ever been in the ICU with at least 165 of those currently remaining in the ICU.
The Governor is asking all Kentuckians to continue to fight the spread of the virus by following his 10-step guidance, which includes practicing social distancing and staying healthy at home. Gov. Beshear says these efforts have the potential to save the lives of as many as 11,000 Kentuckians.
