"We've got to do this right. I believe we can do this right," Gov. Beshear said. "When we phase back in to work, remember, you don't need an in-person meeting. Use the telephone. And now that we are starting to open up health care, see your doctor if you need to." This week, Kentucky began the phased reopening of health care services as the first step under Gov. Beshear's Healthy at Work initiative, which set out public health benchmarks for reopening Kentucky's economy. These benchmarks closely follow the White House's Guidelines for Reopening America.

Letter: Rose-Breasted Grosbeak Judy Reliford writes: This is in regards to the photo sent by Kelli Claypool and her asking for the identification of a bird she called a "White Chested Rednecker?"
