Gov. Beshear Tests Negative for Coronavirus

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says he has tested negative for the new coronavirus after attending a public event in Louisville where another individual tested positive.

Beshear says his test results came back Saturday.

He didn't specify the location of the event or when it occurred.

Beshear says Kentucky now has 20 positive cases, up two from a day earlier.

They range in age from 27 to 80.

Beshear says he's disappointed to learn about large gatherings at bars and clubs in Kentucky at a time when schools, senior centers and other places are closing temporarily to avoid the spread of the virus.

He says he's asking residents to make major sacrifices.
