Western Kentucky green on COVID map

The entirety of Western Kentucky is green on the COVID community spread level map and hospitalizations for the virus are also down across the commonwealth.

Governor Andy Beshear says it appears the most recent Omicron wave wasn’t nearly as severe as previous spikes.

The only sign for concern is a positivity rate that has been on the rise in the last couple weeks.

Access to vaccines and treatment options has helped keep hospitalizations down.

The next weekly case count report will be issued Monday.
