Ky. gains 710 COVID-19 cases, 10 deaths

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear reported 710 new cases of COVID-19 in the Commonwealth Wednesday, and that 1.8 million people have received at least the first dose of a vaccine.

The positivity rate increased slightly once again up to 3.57 percent, and the governor said this week he expects that will bounce up and down as the state remains in a plateau of new cases.  Ten more Kentuckians have died due to COVID-19, putting the state death toll at 6,542.
