The state’s positivity rate remained stable, at 6.24-percent. Beshear added 1,037 Kentuckians remain hospitalized with the virus, 279 in the ICU, and 116 are on ventilators.
During the news conference, Beshear was asked if there were any concerns about riots after the General Election wraps up in Kentucky.
He continued by saying the election changes need to be made into state law.
