Governor's Wednesday Update: 546 new cases By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Wednesday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in the commonwealth. "This is not going to last forever," the Governor said. "We are going to make it through, but we are going to have to do what it takes to make sure as many of our fellow Kentuckians make it through with us and that we protect each other's lives, lift up our economy and do everything we can to get our kids back in school." Case Information As of 4 p.m. Aug. 5, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 32,741 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 546 of which were newly reported Wednesday. Twenty-one of the newly reported cases were from children ages 5 and younger, including seven kids under a year in age with one of those being only 18 days old. "Today's number strongly suggests and I believe it's evidence that face coverings are working," the Governor said. "Proving that even when other parts of the country may be escalating out of control, that we can still control our own destiny here in Kentucky with a small act that shows we care about each other." Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported one new death Wednesday, raising the total to 752 Kentuckians lost to the virus. The death reported Wednesday was a 71-year-old woman from Logan County. "That is still one family that will need our help," Gov. Beshear said. "We pray and think about this family and what they must be going through, as we have with all of the families." As of Wednesday, there have been at least 663,100 coronavirus tests performed in Kentucky. The positivity rate currently stands at 5.51%. At least 8,467 Kentuckians have recovered from the virus. "I believe you are doing the right thing, the vast majority of people are wearing a face covering and it is making a difference," the Governor said. "It looks like we are stopping a very dangerous situation from occurring and we need to keep it up." This story was posted on 2020-08-05 18:14:35
