COVID-19

There were 42 newly identified COVID-19 cases and two deaths from the disease.

The two newly identified cases are women, ages 54 and 62.

Gov. Andy Beshear and Health Commissioner Steven Stack said over the weekend that the critical measure in the next two weeks is social distancing to prevent spread of the virus.

Social distancing pushed the party to a virtual status, and the internet gathering went on for nearly six hours.

Local, state and federal health officials continue to stress the importance of social distancing.

The governor said golf courses and home-improvement stores are among places where people need to do a better job of social distancing.

The drive-thru window at the city Tax Office is still accessible.

A gathering of hundreds of young people in Louisville Friday night and funerals open to more than immediate families are examples of activities that will result in more deaths, the governor said.

Beshear said approximately 64 Kentuckians are known to have recovered from the virus so far.

The lack of supplies is contributing to the delay in testing for the coronavirus and creating danger for healthcare workers, Gov. Andy Beshear said.
