Governor's Saturday Update

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - As of 4 p.m. June 13, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 12,445 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 315 of which were newly confirmed Saturday.

"As we reopen, we must continue to follow precautions and protect each other," said Gov. Beshear. "We've come a long way but the fight is not over."

Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported two new deaths Saturday, raising the total to 499 Kentuckians lost to the virus.



"We will hold their families in our hearts and lift them up," said Gov. Beshear. "While today we are reporting a relatively low number of deaths, the pain their loved ones are going through is exactly the same as all other 497 families."

The deaths reported Saturday include a 68-year-old man from Grayson and a 78-year-old man from Oldham.

Fortunately, 3,409 Kentuckians have recovered from the virus. For additional information, including up-to-date lists of positive cases and deaths, as well as breakdowns of coronavirus infections by county, race and ethnicity, click here.
