While flu, RSV and other illnesses are spiking across Kentucky, COVID cases remain relatively low compared to other times in the pandemic.
Governor Andy Beshear says those other illnesses have driven a large increase in pediatric hospitalizations across Kentucky.
Christian, Todd and Trigg County remain green on the COVID community spread level map and COVID hospitalizations have remained low even when case numbers fluctuate up and down.
Muhlenberg County and several counties in far Western Kentucky are now yellow after being green the last several weeks.
Governor Beshear is urging Kentuckians to get their flu shot and the new COVID booster shot that targets the Omicron variant.
Flu is currently listed as widespread across Kentucky.
