FRANKFORT, KY â The state of Kentucky is joining a coalition of states, plus consumer and health care groups and health care providers, to launchÂ
Get Covered 2021, a national effort to encourage mask wearing and substantially increase the number of people with health coverage.Â
Gov. Andy Beshear, as well as 14 other governors, are declaring Dec. 10 as
Get Covered America Day, to raise awareness and action about COVID-19 safety and getting enrolled in health coverage.Â
âHealth care is a basic human right,â says Gov. Beshear. âItâs our job to work quickly and diligently to get health coverage for as many Kentuckians as possible. With COVID-19 negatively impacting every state, we also need more people wearing masks because when you mask up, you help protect yourself and those around you, which slows the spread of this devastating virus.â
