Working with state offices, things came together and sanitizers have been provided to healthcare facilities, nursing homes, police and fire departments, and others.

In his evening press conference last night, Governor Andy Beshear informed the public that there are now 124 cases of COVID-19 in the Commonwealth. With this news came the announcement of the fourth death in Kentucky, an 82-year-old woman from Lexington who had underlying health conditions. The governor, however, has continued to try and make bold steps towards flattening the curve, including establishing a hotline to report guideline non-compliance. In addition, Governor Beshear announced the Team Kentucky Fund in order to try and help those who have lost their jobs. The fund will help provide financial assistance to those people, and every dollar that comes in or out will be able to be monitored so it can be ensured to be used properly. The fund will be collected online, and donations are tax deductible. There are no limits to donations, and every penny helps.
