Gov. Beshear: Kentucky preparing for COVID-19 case surge By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday said as COVID-19 cases continue to increase, the state is beginning to prepare for a fall and winter surge in cases. The First Family all tested negative for COVID-19 again today. Today marks the fourth-highest number of daily COVID-19 cases reported in the commonwealth, including the day a backlog in cases was reported. This is also the first time since August that the state's positivity rate has been higher than 5%. "Today's report is grim. It is grim because it shows that we are not just continuing in our third escalation, but this one is probably now the second most worrisome escalation we have seen surpassed only by that original March increase," said Gov. Beshear. The Governor announced that due to this escalation, the commonwealth has renewed state surge preparations, including reviewing plans about the capacity in hospitals, examining possible hotel options, if needed, as well as the use of state parks. The state is also ensuring operational plans are in place to stand up a field hospital, if necessary.

National Teen Driver Safety Week is Oct. 18-24 By Erin G. Eggen Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is helping empower parents to talk with their young drivers about the importance of driving safely. They are joining the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in their efforts during National Teen Driver Safety Week, Oct.18-24. "I want our roads to be safe for all Kentuckians, including our youngest drivers. In just a few years, I'll be teaching my own kids how to drive, which is scary to think about for any parent," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "However, I know that by supporting my daughter and son and staying involved in their learning, I'll be able to keep them and the people around them safer. I hope all Kentucky parents take an active role in teaching and encouraging safe driving and that our teens understand how big this responsibility is." "Parents have a strong influence on their teens, even as they grow older and become more independent," said Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray. "Because they are new to driving, teen drivers are a potential danger to themselves and to other drivers, which is why it is so important that parents take time to discuss safe driving practices with their teens."
