Gov. Beshear: COVID-19 positivity rate falls below 10 percent By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Monday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced Kentucky's COVID-19 positivity rate has fallen below 10% for the first time since Dec. 31. Today's new case report was also the lowest for a Monday since Jan. 4. "Our cases are way too high, but I think when you look at this it shows how important the steps we took are and how important the ability to be able to take steps is when you are facing exponential growth in cases," said Gov. Beshear. "We believe that this decline is real, not just a result of maybe fewer tests happening, because we know the positivity rate is also going down." Case Information As of 4 p.m. Monday, Jan. 25, Gov. Beshear reported the following COVID-19 numbers:
Vaccine Update Today, Gov. Beshear said Kentucky is working to become the fastest state to vaccinate school staff so that all schools can safely reopen for in-person classes. The Governor announced that Kentucky has administered 88% of all initial vaccine doses sent to the state's vaccination program.[1] "Just last week, we administered the most doses we ever have, including second doses - 93,499 - and vaccinated the most people we ever have with initial doses - 82,511 people," said Gov. Beshear. "The problem here is supply, supply, supply. We can vaccinate 250,000 Kentuckians per week, and we're still building up our capabilities, but we're only getting 56,000 new doses per week from the federal government. "Fortunately, we believe that all long-term care facilities, skilled nursing homes and assisted living facilities have received their first doses of the vaccine. If there is any remaining facility that has not received it, call the Cabinet for Health and Family Services and we will make sure to raise that with CVS or Walgreens so we can correct it immediately." This Thursday, the Governor will provide an update on how Kentuckians in Phase 1A, 1B and 1C can sign up for an appointment at new regional Kroger vaccination centers as well as other partner locations.
