LOUISVILLE, Ky. Gov. Andy Beshear announced Friday the state s capacity restrictions on indoor and outdoor events will be lifted June 11. All indoor and outdoors events will be open to 100% capacity.
June 11 is the same day Beshear said the state will lift the mask mandate. The governor cited the decision to continue the mandate until that date is to give unvaccinated Kentuckians the opportunity to register for vaccine appointments and give time for the 12-15 age group to get vaccinated. On June 11, life will almost fully be back to normal, Beshear said. This is an entirely new day and this is really exciting.

HENDERSON, Ky. (WFIE) - Ellis Park Racing and Gaming announced today that in accordance with the CDC and Commonwealth of Kentucky, the facility will adhere to the revised guidance for the current mask mandate. Today, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced that vaccinated individuals no longer need to wear a mask nor socially distance from each other in public settings. Based on this guidance, Ellis Entertainment has stopped enforcing mask restrictions at the property and began allowing guests to smoke in designated indoor areas if guests have been fully vaccinated.
In a special press conference held earlier today, May 14th, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced an end to the state-wide mask mandate and capacity restrictions, scheduled for June 11th. This coming just one day after the governor announced that Kentucky would be following CDC-recommended guidelines, allowing fully-vaccinated-individuals to be without their masks in most situations.
The governor also explained that the June 11th date was chosen so that 12-15-year-olds would have time to get vaccinated before the mandate is lifted. The removal of the mask mandate will also see restrictions for those who are considered to be apart of the state’s most vulnerable population.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced Friday morning that all remaining COVID-19 restrictions in Kentucky will be lifted on June 11.
This follows recommendations from the CDC that all individuals who are fully vaccinated no longer have to wear a face masks in most locations indoors or outdoors and that will extend to all Kentuckians on June 11. The governor says this gives plenty of time for everyone who has not yet gotten a vaccine, including children 12 years of age and up, to get one and reach those fully vaccinated requirements.
The Governor said a review of COVID-19 data from the period when many Kentuckians were vaccinated, this March and April, proves the effectiveness of vaccines. Over the two months, total cases declined by 18 percent, hospitalizations declined 19 percent and deaths declined by 48 percent.
