The state has reported 10,046 cases of the novel coronavirus, with 457 people currently hospitalized with COVID-19, including 90 in intensive care. At least 3,232 have recovered. The number of reported deaths stands at 439.
Superintendents were told that because there will be no vaccine this year, and no treatment is likely to be widely used before school is fully underway, schools will have to rely on social distancing and other public-health measures to reduce the risk of infection.
Many employees don’t feel safe going back to work, and adding to the anxiety is the uncertainty about the enforcement of safety standards for businesses that are reopening.
Among local cases, 95 people have recovered after receiving a positive test for the coronavirus. Statewide, at least 3.124 people have recovered, Gov. Andy Beshear announced.
