New! Governor Beshear says that Kentuckians who are FULLY VACCINATED will no longer be required to wear masks in most indoor and outdoor public places.
The CDC said Thursday that it is Safe for vaccinated people to remove their masks and not practice social distancing in most indoor settings.
Everyone still needs to “mask-up” in crowded groups of others, like when using Public Transportation, in Hospitals and in congregate settings.
Anyone 12 or older may get the COVID-19 Vaccine manufactured by Pfizer.
Anyone older than 18 may get the Moderna or Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

The data collected by the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) on case patients comes from a number of sources, including electronic laboratory reports, provider case
disease and COVID-19 investigation reports, local health department investigation results, hospital infection prevention clinical patient data, and KDPH investigation results. Data is often found incomplete and/or incorrect and during KDPH investigation individual patient-level data is added to, corrected, and de-duplicated so that overall case counts and aggregate data values change daily.
