Mar. 8—Calling it "one of the better [days] we've had," Gov. Andy Beshear announced 331 new cases of COVID-19 in Kentucky on Monday and 10 additional deaths attributable to the virus.
Monday's new case tally is the lowest single-day increase since Sept. 8.
Last week was the state's eighth-straight week of declining coronavirus cases. "Everything's down. This is the exact type of trajectory we want to see as we are vaccinating people," Beshear said in a live update. "This is in many ways a race against time, against the [coronavirus] variants."
