Kentucky ended last week with its highest weekly numbers of new COVID-19 cases, Gov. Andy Beshear announced Saturday.
Jefferson County, which is home to Louisville, had recorded the largest number of new cases of any county in the state for one day.
Beshear noted that record was set with one day left in the reporting period.
“With a day still to go, we have set a new one-week record for highest cases in the commonwealth,” Gov. Beshear said. “We are all sacrificing so much right now; we are all tired — but let’s do what it takes to crush this third surge of cases and defeat this virus once and for all.”
Kentucky reported 3,892 news cases and 23 new deaths. The counties with the most positive cases in that day's report were Jefferson, Fayette, Boone, Kenton and Daviess. Each of these counties reported 100 or more new cases; Jefferson County reported 594 of the almost 4,000 new cases.
