It’s far from over, and we need to work together to slow this down,” said Kevin Hall with the Lexington-Fayette County Health Department.

Officials with the health department announced 86 new cases of COVID 19, the highest single-day total since late February.

“Too many people think this is behind them, that this is over and that this is just like life in 2019,” Hall said.

Hall said cases are rising most among unvaccinated Kentuckians, and here in Fayette County cases are especially rising in kids ages 5-17.
