Gov. Beshear provides update on COVID-19 By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - On Monday, January 24, 2022, Gov. Andy Beshear said that his son, Will, tested positive for COVID-19 and is generally asymptomatic, adding that his son is fully vaccinated and recently received his booster shot. The Governor and the rest of the family tested negative for the virus today. The Governor was tested twice today and said he will continue to be tested daily and follow U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Gov. Beshear joined today's briefing remotely to provide an update on COVID-19 and tornado relief. He encouraged parents to get their children vaccinated and boosted if they are eligible. "My son is generally asymptomatic, we believe because he is vaccinated and boosted," said Gov. Beshear. "In fact, he is shooting basketball right now, by himself. The vaccines and booster truly protected him." The Governor said among Kentucky children ages 5 to 11, only 13.3% are fully vaccinated. "Approximately 25% of new COVID-19 cases reported each day in Kentucky are children. Vaccination provides assurance that children can remain in school and protected against COVID-19," said Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health. "For parents who have not yet vaccinated your children, I encourage you to talk with your pediatrician. It's important that you make an informed decision and have confidence that you are taking important steps to keep your children safe from this disease that has caused so much harm to our families and communities." COVID-19 Case Information, Vaccinations Update
Kentucky is still setting new records for both COVID-19 test positivity rate and new cases. Total COVID-19 hospitalizations are near the all-time peak during the delta surge and many hospitals in Kentucky are struggling. So far, for every major strain of this virus, the vaccines have provided very high protection against severe COVID-19 disease and death. Dr. Stack said for percentage of fully vaccinated people with a booster dose, in both adults 65 and older and adults 18 and older, Kentucky is leading Region 4 and is higher than the national average in both categories. Dr. Stack added that all of us can help our health care workers and hospital system by not going to an emergency room just to get a COVID test. This overwhelms the emergency care system and makes the situation worse. This story was posted on 2022-01-24 21:07:48
