Governor Andy Beshear says as COVID-19 case numbers grow we must do better to help control the spread of the virus.
Beshear reported 812 new coronavirus cases Sunday afternoon, which pushes the state total to 87,607. One hundred sixteen of the new cases are children 18 and under, with 28 of the cases children five and under. Beshear adds the youngest was just one month old.

Governor Beshear also reported five more deaths Sunday afternoon, which pushes the death toll to 1,317.
With the case numbers increasing Governor Beshear says all 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 the virus a lot more seriously. He asks all Kentuckians to mask up, maintain social distance, wash your hands frequently, keep gatherings to no more than 10 people and avoid traveling to virus hotspots.
