The Northern Kentucky Health Departmentreports 41 confirmed virus cases in the region as of Tuesday, including 22 cases in Kenton County, nine in Campbell County, nine in Boone County and one in Grant County.

On Monday, Beshear signed an executive order asking people not to travel to other states except to work, seek healthcare, attend court, care for loved ones or get necessities from across state lines if you live near the border. The state also asks people who leave the state to self-quarantine for 14 days.
