Almost a year after issuing strict COVID-19 restrictions on businesses, including some tighter industry-specific requirements, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear just issued new Minimum Requirements for All Entities to ease up on some of the requirements that had been in place. The April 19 release recognizes that the state has made promising strides toward controlling COVID-19, with a decreasing positivity rate and more than 1.5 million Kentuckians having received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. The new rules replace the May 2020 Minimum Requirements that initially installed occupancy requirements, face covering rules, and daily monitoring of employees for COVID-19 symptoms. What do Kentucky employers need to know about these new rules?

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear reported 628 new cases of COVID-19 Thursday, while urging people to encourage those they know to get vaccinated against the virus.
Nearly 1.7 million people have gotten at least the first dose of the vaccine, which the governor says he believes is a little low due to errors in the reporting system that leaves about 800,000 Kentuckians left to go to reach the goal of 2.5 million vaccinated persons. There has been a decrease in people getting the vaccine, leaving a lot of supply available, and Governor Beshear says that number must change if we want to beat this pandemic.
