There were 812 new coronavirus cases and five new deaths reported Sunday by Governor Andy Beshear.
At least 116 of those new cases are 18 or younger and 28 are five or younger.
The five new deaths bring the pandemic death total to 1,317.
Governor Beshear says, “Once again, we are seeing our case numbers growing instead of shrinking and we must do better. All of the things that we want to do, like fully reengaging our economy and getting our children back to in-person instruction, is dependent on everyone taking this virus a lot more seriously. Mask up, maintain social distance, wash your hands frequently, keep gatherings to no more than 10 people and avoid traveling to virus hotspots.”
Sundays normally have smaller numbers of new cases due to fewer labs reporting.
Tennessee reported 2,605 new cases and six more deaths—making the Volunteer State’s death total 2,909. Montgomery County had 44 new cases, Robertson County added 12 and Stewart County reported four new cases.
