COVID-19

KY COVID-19 Update: Saturday, June 20

KY COVID-19 Update: Saturday, June 20

FRANKFORT, Ky. (June 20, 2020) – Gov. Andy Beshear on Saturday updated Kentuckians on the state’s continued initiatives to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19).

“It’s another beautiful weekend, and I know we’re all wishing for a faster return to normal,” said Gov. Beshear. “But in this test of our lifetimes, we’ve stepped up to make changes that protect each other, and that has made an enormous difference.”

Case information
As of 4 p.m. June 20, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 13,630 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 183 of which were newly reported Saturday.

“The virus remains a serious threat to Kentuckians,” said Gov. Beshear. “As we try to safely return to a new normal, we can’t forget we’re still up against an invisible enemy.”

Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported two new deaths Saturday, raising the total to 524 Kentuckians lost to the virus.

“When I was inaugurated as your governor, I could never have imagined we would lose this many Kentuckians to a single, brand new illness in such a short period of time,” said Gov. Beshear. “It’s devastating. Announcing these deaths is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, and I hope, ever will have to do. As we recognize those we’ve lost, let’s remember and celebrate their extraordinary lives.”

The deaths reported Saturday include a 91-year-old woman from Hopkins County and an 80-year-old woman from Jefferson County.

At least 3,530 Kentuckians have recovered from the virus.

Gov. Beshear reminded Kentuckians of the critical importance of filling out their U.S. Census forms. Those who have not can fill out the Census at my2020census.gov or by phone at 844-330-2020 (English) or 844-468-2020 (Spanish).
