Governor: Don't let surge overwhelm health care system By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Monday, Gov. Andy Beshear said all Kentuckians need to act now to stop a COVID-19 surge that could overwhelm the commonwealth's health care system and force businesses and schools to close again. "In America and in Kentucky, this is getting increasingly more and more dangerous. The newest numbers are absolutely staggering," said Gov. Beshear. "We're losing 1,200 Americans per day and we have some individuals who say, 'Oh, it's not real.' Think about the amount of grief that is crying out every day in this country and this commonwealth based on those who we have lost." Community leaders, businesses, schools and families in counties listed in the red zone on Thursdays should follow nine recommendations the following Monday through Sunday. All Kentuckians should consider adopting some of these recommendations to help their county avoid the red zone. Today's COVID-19 case report is the highest ever for a Monday. The Governor reminded Kentuckians to vote safely in the 2020 general election tomorrow if they have not done so already. He encouraged all voters to wear a mask and stay six feet apart from others at the polls.

Quarles pushes support for farmers and restaurants Opinion from Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Dr. Ryan Quarles Frankfort, KY - Across the nation and around the world, the number of coronavirus cases is on the rise. This alarming trend has raised concerns that the economic lockdown from the spring could return. Leaders in Frankfort can and should be creative in using available resources and developing guidelines to prevent further damage to Kentucky's economy this winter while also encouraging Kentuckians to follow CDC guidelines. When the pandemic first began, I worked in Frankfort to make sure that agriculture remained open for business. As the providers of our food and fiber, our hard-working farmers needed to continue working to make sure Kentucky, the nation, and the world didn't go hungry. However, we did see our food supply tested in ways we thought previously unimaginable. The spread of the virus and the government forced shutdown of our economy resulted in a slowdown of meat processing which led to shortages of product, increases in the price of meat for consumers, and decreases in farm income. We can't let that happen again. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2020-11-02 14:54:49 | Comments | Printable version
