Gov. Beshear: Saturday's COVID-19 Report Is 'Frightening' By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear said Saturday he is excited to be out of quarantine, but today's COVID-19 report is, "in a word, frightening." The Governor said this is Kentucky's highest day of newly reported cases by a significant amount, except for the one day when a backlog of cases from Fayette County were added. "This is exploding all over the country. Yesterday was the highest amount of cases ever reported in a single day in the United States," Gov. Beshear said. "We've got to do better, and on Monday we'll be talking about new recommendations to counties that are in the red. We've got to tamp down these cases. The more cases, the more people that end up in the hospital and the more people die." Case Information As of 3 p.m. Oct. 24, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported eight new deaths Saturday, bringing the total number of Kentuckians now lost to the virus is 1,404. "That's eight additional families who are suffering during this time," said Gov. Beshear. "Do what it takes to protect your neighbor, to protect their life. That's what we're fighting for now - life and death." The deaths reported Saturday include a 69-year-old woman from Lee County; a 70-year-old man from Lincoln County; a 71-year-old man from Jessamine County; a 89-year-old man from Jessamine County; an 86-year-old man from Greenup County; an 89-year-old man from Henderson County; a 71-year-old man from Jefferson County and a 79-year-old man from Harlan. "We're all tired of COVID-19 and the problems it has brought," said Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Department for Public Health. "People are hurting, whether from the virus itself or the impact it has had on the rest of our lives. It's all worse, though, when we don't do simple things like wearing masks and socially distancing. As October comes to a close, please be kind to each other and remember that we help each other, and ourselves, when we focus on defeating the virus rather than arguing with each other."
