Governor's Monday update: Positivity rate 4.69% By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). "Because of the increase in positive cases that we're seeing and with the weeks that are likely ahead, we are going to need to hear and to know that we're going to get through this and we're going to get through this together," the Governor said. "If the current trends continue, it will be a difficult fall and a difficult winter, but I believe that we have the opportunity to improve our situation. One of the big ways we do that is wearing a mask." Case Information - Monday, Oct. 5 As of 4 p.m. Oct. 5, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 73,158 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 543 of which were newly reported Monday. Sixty-nine of the newly reported cases were from children ages 18 and younger, of which nine were children ages 5 and under. The youngest was only 1 month old. "I believe that is the highest Monday, certainly in the last four weeks and by an appreciable amount," the Governor said.

New, improved kynect debuts By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Taking a major step forward in his commitment to provide quality health care to Kentuckians, Gov. Andy Beshear announced Monday the state has reconnected kynect in order to provide easier access to health coverage and other benefits. Gov. Beshear said the new kynect offers expanded benefits, enhanced usability, a new mobile-friendly format and helps to ready the commonwealth for the return of the state-based exchange, scheduled for enrollment in 2021 to begin the exchange in January 2022. The move is expected to save Kentuckians about $15 million a year. "Even as the state continues to battle the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), we have remained committed to moving the state forward on major initiatives including expanding access to health care," Gov. Beshear said. "Every member of Team Kentucky should have health care - it is a basic human right. Now that kynect is back, it is easier for Kentuckians to access the benefits they need so they can afford to see a doctor and get the care they deserve."

KSP: October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month By Lt. Josh Lawson Frankfort, KY - The month of October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time set aside to acknowledge domestic violence survivors and be a voice for the victims. Domestic violence is prevalent in any community, including many places in Kentucky, and affects people of different gender, age and race. "Domestic violence doesn't discriminate between socio-economic status, race or location whether you're rural or urban. One in four women and one in seven men will be a victim of domestic violence," says Victim Advocacy and Support Justice Program Administrator Danielle Perkins. In response to the high number of crime and domestic violence victims, Kentucky State Police (KSP) employed sixteen victim advocates to provide support services and resources to crime victims across the Commonwealth. KSP is among the first state police agencies to implement this program on a statewide basis.
