Gov. Beshear: Face coverings still crucial By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Thursday extended the state's mandate requiring face coverings in some situations for another 30 days, citing its success and continued importance in flattening the curve of novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) cases in the commonwealth. "By now, we all know someone that we care about, that we're close to who is fighting this virus or has fought this virus. And as things progress, we will all probably know somebody who we have lost to this virus. This is going to be a month where I hope we turn things around, but based on July, we're still going to see a lot of pain," said Gov. Beshear. "So let's make sure that we protect our mental and emotional health, stay as committed as we've always been to defeating this virus and step it up." The Governor also noted that on Monday, he will have additional guidance for Kentucky's bars and restaurants. "Expectations ought to be that capacity will increase again to 50% but there will be some changes. Especially in restaurants, we need people to still prioritize outdoor seating," said Gov. Beshear. "Bars and restaurants are both going to be expected to have their last item served at 10 p.m. Then there is going to be an hour to let people eat and drink and ultimately go home."

2020 KY State Fair will be particpant-only event Today, the Governor announced that through consultation with public health officials, the Kentucky State Fair Board determined that limiting the fair to participants only was a necessary step to prevent a surge in COVID-19 cases. The fair will feature wider aisle ways, reduced occupancy, increased hygiene accessibility and facial covering requirements. In an effort to manage crowds and social distancing, Lot A exhibits, Midway, concerts, entertainment and food vendors will not be featured in this year's fair. "By hosting a participant-only event, fair officials can more effectively enforce social distancing and facial covering requirements as well as gather the necessary information to perform contact tracing," said Gov. Beshear. "I appreciate the board's willingness to be agile, and their efforts to ensure that the health and safety of Kentuckians remains a top priority." The Kentucky State Fair will be held Aug. 20-30 at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville.
