Kentucky is fast approaching nearly 600,000 Covid-19 cases during the almost 18 months of the pandemic.
In response, Governor Andy Beshear has worked with the General Assembly to assess a call for a special session beginning later this morning. He will ask lawmakers to consider legislation including extending the state of emergency until January of next year and requiring facial coverings in indoor settings in certain circumstances.
The meeting will take place in Frankfort at 10 a.m. this morning.
