Governor's Tuesday update: 700 new cases By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - As of 4 p.m. Aug. 4, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 32,197 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 700 of which were newly reported Tuesday. Eighteen of the newly reported cases were from children ages 5 and younger, including a 2-month-old and a 6-month-old in Jefferson County. In addition, a 1-year-old in Metcalfe County was positively diagnosed after being exposed to the coronavirus at church and recently traveled to Tennessee. "We hope to see the trend we think we had over the past couple weeks continue, which is a slow of the growth," the Governor said. "While today we have a higher number than we did at this time last week, we believe there is a general leveling off though today there are more cases than last week." Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported seven new deaths Tuesday, raising the total to 751 Kentuckians lost to the virus. The deaths reported Monday include a 53-year-old man from Calloway County; a 70-year-old man from Daviess County; two women, ages 45 and 69, and an 81-year-old man from Jefferson County; a 50-year-old man from Kenton County; and a 95-year-old woman from Ohio County. "That is seven more than we ever want to lose," Gov. Beshear said. "Let me warn you that this is probably going to be a really tough month as far as our losses in Kentucky." As of Tuesday, there have been at least 650,093 coronavirus tests performed in Kentucky. The positivity rate currently stands at 5.24%. At least 8,406 Kentuckians have recovered from the virus.
