On Monday, Governor Andy Beshear announced the closure of the ‘Team Kentucky Fund’ $390,000 going to non-profits in Kentucky. Hotel Inc. and The Salvation Army of Hopkinsville.
As far as COVID-19 statistics, the governor said for the first time, the state has seen four straight weeks of declining cases since the pandemic began.
Governor Beshear reported 1,003 new COVID-19 cases Monday, the lowest number of cases since December 26. He said the state’s positivity rate was at 7.78%, the lowest number since November. Through the good news of the apparent decline in cases in the state, 40 news deaths were also reported.
The governor spent the majority of his update talking about vaccine distribution in the state with limited supply being the biggest problem.
There are three different programs in the state working to get Kentuckians vaccinated. There is the state program, the long-term care program and the newly announced federal pharmacy program, which will start towards the end of this week.
Governor Beshear said this is directly with the Biden administration that has two major partners in the state. One will be a number of Walgreen’s locations and the second is a large number of independent pharmacies.
The vaccination sites will be announced on Thursday.
