"With us being in a time where we have had more cases than really ever before, though we certainly hope they are leveling out, we want to make sure that everyone out there can get a test," Beshear said.
Beshear said there are many private testing sites across the commonwealth, including 34 in Western Kentucky. He also highlighted new free COVID-19 testing that is being provided by the University of Louisville Health and a new-drive through option in Northern Kentucky.

As of 4 pm on Tuesday, Beshear said there were at least 32,197 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 700 of which were newly reported. Eighteen of the cases were children ages five and younger. Beshear reported seven new deaths, raising the total to 751 Kentuckians lost to the virus. One of the deaths was a 53-year-old man from Calloway County.
"That is seven more than we ever want to lose," Beshear said. "Let me warn you that this is probably going to be a really tough month as far as our losses in Kentucky."
At least 8,406 Kentuckians have recovered from the virus.
