Western Kentucky remains green on the statewide COVID 19 Community Spread Level Map and Governor Andy Beshear is urging Kentuckians to be vaccinated and boosted before the upcoming holiday season.
While this week’s case count was up slightly from last, the governor says the decreased positivity rate that came with it may mean a leveling off of cases.
People will be getting together more over the next three months and Governor Beshear says that makes being up to date on a COVID vaccine all the more important.
While you may still catch COVID while vaccinated, your chances of becoming seriously ill are far lower.
The new case numbers and positivity rate will be released in Monday’s report. Not only is all of western Kentucky green on the Community Spread Level map, but there are no longer any ‘red’ counties in the state, and only 13 counties in the ‘yellow’.
