With state nearing 'critical' level of virus spread, and some places much higher, Beshear requires all in state buildings to mask up - Health News
Gov. Andy Beshear is requiring all state employees and visitors to state buildings to wear face coverings, even if they are fully vaccinated against the coronavirus, which continues to surge in Kentucky.
Beshear said in a two-minute video that he took the action to protect state workers "and those they interact with." It takes effect Thursday, July 29.
The rule "came on the heels of a shift in guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which on Tuesday said everyone in the United States, including fully-vaccinated people, should resume wearing masks in public indoor settings in parts of the country where spread of the Covid-19 Delta variant is considered dangerously 'high' or 'substantial'," the Lexington Herald-Leader notes.
