Link to State COVID Info:

Kentucky Department of Public Health's website which provides KY Health Alerts for Coronavirus COVID-19.

Governor’s Plan to reopen:

The Healthy At Work Initiative includes timeline of dates for businesses re-opening and guidance documents. Many of the documents are tailored for specific business sectors.

Mask Mandates:

Kentucky's mask mandate requires all persons in Kentucky to wear a face covering while (1) inside or waiting to enter a retail establishment, (2) while waiting for or while riding on public transport, or (3) while in an outdoor public space in which the wearer is not able to physically distance themselves at least 6 feet away from non-household members of the public. There are also a number of exceptions to the class of persons required to wear a face covering. Finally, there are a number of business-specific mask and PPE requirements depending upon the kind of business.

Irrespective of the above, Kentucky's mask mandate does not apply to outdoor events and gatherings hosting fewer than 1,000 attendees.

 Louisiana
Mass Gathering Restrictions:

Kentucky has no mass gatherings restrictions in place. Per a United States District Court's ruling, Kentucky's previous mass gatherings restrictions were unconstitutional. The constitutionality of Kentucky's gathering restrictions is currently on appeal in the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.
