Gov. Andy Beshear's office provided an update on the novel coronavirus on Saturday.

He reminded Kentuckians to follow public health guidance this weekend during the ongoing fight against the virus, and announced 319 newly confirmed cases. Beshear said 65 percent of those cases are from Jefferson County.

"The virus is still out there. I know we're tired. I know we all just want to have a normal summer," said Gov. Beshear. "But we've already saved so many lives as Team Kentucky and we can't let up now."

Unfortunately, Gov. Beshear reported four new deaths Saturday, raising the total to 470 Kentuckians lost to the virus.

The deaths reported Saturday include a 73-year-old man from Clay County, 73- and 90-year old men from Jefferson County and a 70-year-old woman from Logan County.

At least 3,344 Kentuckians have recovered from the virus.

Since the virus is still in our midst, Beshear and state health officials asked all Kentuckians to keep gatherings to 10 or fewer people. He also passed along other guidance, including wearing masks, maintaining social distancing of six feet or more, gathering outside instead of inside, washing hands frequently, covering food and individually wrapping plates.
