Governor's Saturday update: 583 new cases reported By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Saturday updated Kentuckians on steps the state is taking to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in the commonwealth. "Take care of each other. Wear facial coverings. Stay six feet apart. Do all of the things we need to do. We know how to beat COVID-19," said Gov. Beshear. "Let's come together. I know we're going to get through this. I'm counting on you and I'm proud of you. It's go time and let's get it done right now." As of 4 p.m. July 18, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 22,184 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 583 of which were newly reported Saturday. This is the second-highest number of cases reported in a single day in Kentucky. "That means this is a dangerous time and it can't be explained away by our increase in tests," said Gov. Beshear. "We've got to be careful. We've got to make sure that we are wearing our facial coverings, because today's cases are a reflection of 14 days ago before we mandated those. This is what it's going to take if we want to save our economy and save lives and get our kids back in school, it's really that simple."

COVID-19 Q&A: questions about tests Each week the Lake Cumberland District Health Department takes questions from media and the public. Following are two of the questions on our minds: Question: The asymptomatic cases reported in this county - how were they diagnosed? By random testing, testing before a procedure, contact tracing or other? Answer: People are tested for several different reasons those who are asymptomatic may have been tested for pre-op procedures. They may have been a contact to a positive case or they may have just requested testing. Question: My son's friend that he goes to the gym with has tested positive, does my son need to be tested? Answer: A person may choose to have a COVIS-19 test whether symptomatic or not, if they have been exposed. If you have been in contact with a positive case within 6 feet for 10 minutes or more you are a contact and will need to quarantine for 14 days. You can become positive anytime up to 14 days.

Letter: chiggers in the blackberry patch By Joyce Coomer You know, as many hundreds of times that I have walked through batches of Queen Anne's lace, I have never gotten -- nor seen -- a chigger. However, picking blackberries is a whole other story!!!!! Only time I didn't get chiggers when picking blackberries was the one time I picked as many ticks off me (while I was picking blackberries) as I was getting blackberries off the vines. 2020-07-18 05:32:52 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Kentucky Supreme Court rules in Gov. Beshear's favor By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Friday announced that the Kentucky Supreme Court has kept in place all executive orders related to the fight against COVID-19, including the mask order, until the court can hear full arguments from the Beshear administration and the attorney general's office and issue a final ruling. "As many of you are aware, the attorney general had filed a motion to try to void every single order that had been put out to fight this pandemic," the Governor said. "That would mean every single set of rules that keep people safe, but that also means workers' compensation for our first responders when they've gotten quarantined because they've gotten the virus or been exposed to the virus. It was also almost every bit of flexibility we've been able to offer to our schools during this pandemic." Early this morning, a Boone Circuit Court Judge was expected to sign an injunction nullifying many of Gov. Beshear's executive orders on COVID-19. The attorney general challenged the orders put in place to protect Kentucky lives, keep Kentucky from losing more than $10 billion in the economy and to help schools safely reopen this fall. In an order issued this afternoon by unanimous decision, the Supreme Court stated, "Given the need for a clear and consistent statewide public health policy and recognizing that the Kentucky legislature has expressly given the Governor broad executive powers in a public health emergency, the court orders a stay of all orders of injunctive relief until such time as the various orders are properly before the court with a full record of any evidence and pleadings considered by the lower courts." Gov. Beshear commended the Supreme Court's decision. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2020-07-18 02:54:17 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Politics
