Governor Andy Beshear today announced 2,803 new cases of coronavirus in Kentucky.
Beshear also announced 11 new deaths related to the virus. The positivity rate rose to 9.24%.
Despite the high numbers for a Sunday, Beshear thanked Kentuckians for trying to do their part to slow the spread of the virus during a holiday weekend.
“The thing about this crisis is, all of us might step up in a different way, but each of our contributions matter,” said Beshear. “To every family who changed their traditions this year to keep others safe – thank you. To our only line health care workers and first responders who have put your own safety at risk during this pandemic – thank you. To our tireless neighbors battling food insecurity and making sure Kentuckians can put dinner on the table, on Thanksgiving and every day – thank you. And to the retail, grocery, logistics and food and beverage professionals who did the right thing to keep yourselves and customers safe this week – thank you. To these heroes, and so many others, you are all the best of Team Kentucky.”
