Yesterday, Governor Andy Beshear helda memorial service in honor of more than 10,000 Kentuckians lost to Covid-19.
“More than 5 million people worldwide have lost their lives, and more than 10,000 of our fellow Kentuckians have succumbed to this vicious evil virus. We’ve lost more Kentuckians to Covid-19 than make up the population of most of our towns and cities,” he stated. A permanent Team Kentucky Memorial titled “United We Stand, Divided We Fall” will be encircled by lights that will glow green when the sun sets to symbolize empathy and compassion for all Kentuckians lost to Covid-19.
