Beshear warns Kentucky could be moving toward fourth wave of COVID-19
Gov. Andy Beshear said that looking at some of the trends, a fourth wave of COVID-19 in Kentucky is possible, similar to what is being experienced in some other states.
During a Capitol press briefing on Thursday, he pointed to several factors that are on the rise during the coronavirus pandemic. They include an increase in new cases and that the positivity rate continues to creep upward.
“It is at least a warning that a fourth wave is possible here,” Beshear said. “We can prevent it, we should prevent it. It requires people to get vaccinated and continue to mask up.”
A total of 834 new cases of COVID-19 were reported to state public health officials, which is 52 more than on Thursday. Of them, 116 are among those who are 18 years of age and younger.
