Governor Beshear also put out an urgent call to any person or organization who could donate PPE to frontline workers in the fight against the coronavirus.
“I know we still have more PPE out there, and we need it. This is a call to action, and you all have responded, but I know there’s more,” Beshear said.
Beshear said cabins in state parks would be use for quarantining first responders who tested positive for the coronavirus, so they wouldn't infect their families.
