Andy Beshear told reporters on Sunday that the federal and state government agree on measures needed to slow the rate of Covid-19 infections in the state. While Kentucky is currently a yellow zone, it has the potential to slip into the red zone, Birx said. "What we have recommended is that 100% of people should be wearing masks in any indoor public space," Birx said. Other federal guidance includes maintaining social distance, increasing outdoor dining, closing bars and reducing in-person gatherings to less than 10, she said. He specifically noted that he just saw a picture of hundreds of people in bars in Lexington, but none of them were wearing masks.
