Kentucky COVID Recommendations; Tri-State Counties in Red Zone

Governor Andy Beshear returned to the podium Monday afternoon to relay the latest news regarding a resurgence of COVID-19 cases in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

While Beshear stopped short of re-issuing any kind of mandates, it was Dr. Steven Stack whose words were a bit stronger about the numbers that he and other medical experts are seeing in the Bluegrass State.

The most recent map displaying the COVID-19 current incidence rate shows 15 counties back in the critical or RED zone. That means there are more than 25 people per 100,000 who have tested positive for the virus. Six of those 15 counties are right here in the tri-state.
