On Friday, Gov. Andy Beshear said Kentucky’s COVID-19 positivity rate stands at 3.40 percent as the state continues to improve in cases reported from the coronavirus.
“With now more than 1 million Kentuckians being vaccinated, our shot of hope has proven to be our shot of certainty for ending this pandemic,” Beshear said. “We still need everyone to continue to mask up, practice social distancing, wash your hands and get vaccinated when it’s your turn.”
All Kentuckian 50 and older become eligible for COVID-19 vaccination appointments today, Beshear said last week.
