Kentuckians looking for advice about how they should protect themselves and their families from the novel coronavirus will find answers in guidelines released this week by the state Cabinet for Health and Family Service.
The one-page guide outlines preventative measures for individuals and communities.
Community measures include Gov. Andy Beshear’s request that churches not meet for worship services and that public and private organizations cancel or postpone large gatherings.
The state also has a website devoted to coronavirus information. It includes a daily update of the number of people tested for the coronavirus and the number of confirmed cases.
