“We’ve been in this fight for more than three months now and, unfortunately, we still have a long way to go,” Beshear said in the release. “But I have total confidence that Kentuckians will rise to the challenge in order to do one of the things we do best: watch out for families, friends and neighbors.”
There were also two new deaths in Kentucky attributed to COVID-19 on Sunday. A 61-year-old man from Fayette County and 73-year-old man from Butler County died of the illness, according to Beshear’s office.

At least 3,530 people in Kentucky have recovered from coronavirus, according to Beshear’s office.
