Governor Andy Beshear said 53 people died from Coronavirus Thursday. He also reported 2,742 new cases of coronavirus in Kentucky.
The Governor reported 1,803 new cases and 11 deaths for Friday and 764 new cases and 4 deaths Saturday.
The positivity rate ranged from 7.95% and 8.2%.
Beshear said “the number of deaths we’re announcing today is truly heartbreaking – another wake-up call. But one piece of good news is that our positivity rate continues to decline. It was even under eight percent on Christmas Day,” said Gov. Beshear. “That means our sacrifices are making a difference. Thank you for doing the holidays differently this year to protect each other. Let’s keep working hard so we don’t have more days like today where we have to announce we’ve lost so many of our neighbors, family and friends.”
