Gov. Beshear reports highest week ever for COVID-19 cases By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear announced 2,194 new cases and said today's COVID-19 case report is the highest ever for a Sunday. The second highest Sunday was Oct. 25, when the Governor reported 1,462 new cases, 732 fewer than he announced today. In addition, this was Kentucky's highest week ever for new COVID-19 cases, surpassing the previous record week by 3,766 cases. "This upcoming holiday week is a special time for all of our families, and I know everyone wants to have a normal Thanksgiving after such a difficult year," said Gov. Beshear. "I wish more than anything that we could go back to normal safely, but we can't. In order to protect our only line of health care workers and all of our fellow Kentuckians, keep gatherings small (eight people or fewer and two households at most), wear a mask, wash your hands and stay six feet apart. "If we have a major surge of COVID-19 cases after Thanksgiving, our hospitals will simply not have the capacity to give everyone the care they need. Nothing is worth that risk." New requirements impact restaurants, bars, social gatherings, indoor fitness and recreation centers, venues and theaters, professional services and schools. Case Information As of 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 22, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
