Governor Andy Beshear today announced 2,567 new cases of coronavirus in Kentucky. Beshear also announced 10 new deaths.
The positivity rate is at 9.75%.
Sunday's reported total means the commonwealth now has supassed 200,000 cases since the state's first reported case nine months ago.
“These are difficult numbers, having passed 200,000 cases and earlier this week passing 2,000 deaths. And now this is our highest week to date. However, in the data there is some potentially good news: While this is our highest week ever, the rate of growth does appear to be slowing. In other words, our increase from the last couple of weeks is less than what we have been seeing. Certainly, our hope is that we are slowing down this train and are moving at least to a new plateau,” the Governor said.
