There were 11 deaths from the coronavirus in Kentucky on Thursday, and the state reported 208 newly confirmed cases.

Insurance is not required, and there's no charge for a test.

The number of people in the county who have recovered from COVID-19 is more than triple the number who are currently sick.

The health department is offering to provide transportation for anyone who cannot provide their own to the testing site at Tie Breaker Park.

The White House is privately projecting a steady rise in coronavirus cases and COVID-19 deaths over the next several weeks, according to internal documents obtained by New York Times.

Gov. Andy Beshear updated the state's numbers, which included 8 deaths Monday and 163 newly confirmed cases.

The shift to online care is an opportunity for those who are seeking recovery, but are hesitant to attend an in-person meeting.

The 213 deaths reported in the first seven weeks of Kentucky’s pandemic only include people who were tested and confirmed to have coronavirus.

At least 1,892 people in Kentucky have recovered from COVID-19.

Testing is important, the governor stressed, because many people who are asymptomatic do have the virus and can spread it to others.

He called in-person protests "reckless" and said lawmakers who participate should find more responsible way to register their complaints with him.

In some other states, governors give considerable attention to two statistical models used to track the spread of the virus, but Beshear and Health Commissioner Steven Stack are keeping to themselves whatever models they are using.
