Governor continues to stress the importance of masks By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - As daily new cases of COVID-19 top 1,000 for the second consecutive day, Gov. Beshear continues to stress the importance of everyone wearing face coverings, calling it the single most important action all of us can take to fight COVID-19. "We've got a lot of kids who went back to in-person classes this week," said Gov. Beshear. "Our kids can wear their masks. We as adults complain about it, but our kids can do it. I can tell you, my kids are willing to do it if it means they get to be back in school. Let's make sure we are wearing masks in our community." He also encouraged Kentuckians to spread the word on social media using #MaskUpKY and #MaskUpKentucky hashtags. Starting next week, Kentuckians who use the hashtags will receive a #TeamKY mask if their post is featured as part of the Governor's daily 4 p.m. news conference. Case Information As of 4 p.m. Sept. 30, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 68,840 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 1,004 of which were newly reported Wednesday. One hundred and fifty-four of the newly reported cases were from children ages 18 and younger, of which 28 were children ages 5 and under. The youngest was only 4 months old. "Today's report is a little tough. It's the first time since March 6 that we've had over 1,000 cases in two consecutive days," the Governor said. "One thousand four cases is a problem and that means we have to be more vigilant." Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported four new deaths Wednesday, raising the total to 1,174 Kentuckians lost to the virus. The deaths reported Wednesday include an 86-year-old man from Bullitt County; a 70-year-old man from Christian County; an 87-year-old man from Fayette County; and a 74-year-old man from Jefferson County. "We have a number of others that are still going through our process, and sadly we are waiting to get information back, but I think we will see in the coming days that this can impact even younger adults," the Governor said.
