FRANKFORT, Ky. (WYMT/WKYT) - Update
As of Wednesday morning, there are no new cases of COVID-19 in Kentucky.
At a 9 a.m. news conference, Gov. Andy Beshear told the media that the 8 current patients are stable and some are even close to recovery.
There are 5 current cases in Harrison County, 2 in Fayette County and 1 in Jefferson County. You can read more about those cases here.
We also learned at the news conference that officials are closing visitations to state prisons, asking schools to prepare short-notice closing plans and encouraged churches to cancel services this weekend to help stop the spread of the virus and other illnesses.
“I don’t believe that whether you go to church during this time is a test of faith, I believe God gives us wisdom to protect each other, and we should do that," Beshear said.
Governor Beshear is also advising people to avoid large crowds.
The Bluegrass Politics Twitter account, ran by the Lexington Herald-Leader, posted that the annual leader prayer breakfast this week is canceled. The governor is also recommending Kentucky employers let their employees work from home whenever possible.
State leaders are canceling their traditional prayer breakfast this week, and I am calling on churches across Kentucky to cancel their services this weekend, Gov Beshear says. I know some won't agree with this, he adds. ^JC
