Governor's Saturday update: 973 new cases

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Saturday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).

"Folks, right now we are on pace to have the single highest week in terms of positive cases that we've ever had," said Gov. Beshear. "We simply have to do better. Please wear a mask. Sadly, sometimes I'm seeing less of these out there than more. This will save lives."

Case Information
As of 3 p.m. Sept. 26, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 66,036 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 973 of which were newly reported Saturday. Of the newly reported cases, 132 were from children age 18 and younger, with 18 age 5 and younger. The youngest was just 2 months old.



The Governor added, "We've already lost more than 200,000 Americans. Do your part as Team Kentucky, do your patriotic duty - mask up, Kentucky. It may save the life of someone you know."

Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported five new deaths Saturday. The total of Kentuckians now lost to the virus is 1,154.
