1,177 New Coronavirus Cases Reported in Kentucky Sunday Nov. 8

Governor Andy Beshear Sunday reported 1,177 new cases of coronavirus in Kentucky, bringing the state total to 120,838.

Governor Beshear also announced 4 new deaths.

Beshear said this week Kentucky once again had the highest number of cases in a seven day period. “This virus is spreading in communities in every corner of the commonwealth, and everyone, from our businesses and schools to individuals, must do their part to stop the spread and save lives,” Gov. Beshear said. “Without each of us doing our part, the rampant spread will continue to take more Kentuckians. Let’s come together as Team Kentucky to defeat this virus.”
