Gov. Beshear also announced three new deaths, one of them being an 88-year-old woman . The state’s death toll now stands at 208.
1,511 Kentuckians have recovered from virus.
On Sunday, the governor also warned to remain vigilant as the state takes a first step in re-opening certain healthcare facilities.
“Tomorrow is the first day since this virus hit that instead of adding restrictions, we are reopening some areas,” the Governor said.
Gov. Beshear says the phased reopening of health care services is the first step under the Healthy at Work initiative.
On Monday, health care practitioners can resume non-urgent health care services, diagnostic radiology and lab services in:
-Hospital outpatient settings
-Health care clinics and medical offices
-Physical therapy settings, chiropractic offices and optometrists
-Dental offices (but with enhanced aerosol protections)
This does not apply to elective surgeries or procedures, which will be addressed in a different phase of re-opening the state.
