Governor's Tuesday update: Guidance on public pools By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY -. (June 16, 2020) - Gov. Andy Beshear on Tuesday updated Kentuckians on steps the state is taking to address the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). "Everybody needs to remember that COVID-19 is still out there, it spreads aggressively and it can be deadly. As part of Team Kentucky we all have to do our part and remember there are three things you can do to help stop the spread of COVID," the Governor said. "No. 1: Socially distance, wash your hands and wear a mask; that's critically important. No. 2: Make sure you regularly get tested for COVID-19. We need that all over the commonwealth. And No. 3: If you're contacted by one of our contact tracers, make sure you talk to them. That's how you protect yourself and everybody around you. If we can do those three things, we can continue to reopen Kentucky, to do it safely and to protect one another." Updated Guidance on Pools, Larger Gatherings On Tuesday, Gov. Beshear's administration offered updated guidance covering public pools and gatherings of up to 50 people: Guidance for Gatherings of Up To Fifty (50) People (PDF).

Gov. Beshear realeases his tax returns for 2019 By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - As the commonwealth is focused on defeating COVID-19, Gov. Andy Beshear today showed his ongoing commitment to transparency by releasing his tax returns for 2019 and once again called on other office holders to do the same. The Governor also released his 2019 Statement of Financial Disclosure and launched a transparency webpage listing executive flight details. "Elected officials must earn the public's trust and demonstrate that they aren't beholden to any special interests," said Gov. Beshear. "Kentuckians deserve to know their leaders aren't indebted to those whose interests are in conflict with those of the people of the commonwealth." Gov. Beshear's returns, filed jointly with his wife, Britainy, show he has only one employer - the people of Kentucky. Beshear's adjusted gross income totaled $151,148, which included his salary as Attorney General for most of the calendar year and as Governor for the last three weeks of December along with some stock dividends. Gov. Beshear's tax return also shows that his family, like many others across the commonwealth and country, is still paying off student loans.
