LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) â On Thursday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that Kentucky will change its mask mandate to reflect the latest guidance from the CDC that eases mask-wearing for fully vaccinated people.
The new guidance states that people who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 no longer need to wear face covering indoors or outdoors in most settings. The news was welcome to many who see it as another step toward normal. I m ready to see smiling faces again, said Rylee Stafford as she was on her way to grab dinner in Downtown Lexington Thursday.
