Gov. Beshear: Fall sports depend on ability to get coronavirus 'back under control'

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Want college or high school football this fall? Wear a mask in public then.

"We have significantly lower cases than our neighbors, but they’re increasing," Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said Thursday in an interview on Kentucky Sports Radio. "We cannot deny the fact that we are seeing an escalation of cases that ought to concern everybody. We’re seeing some of them break out in some of the conditioning, football or other high school sports teams.

"Our ability to have high school and college sports is going to depend on our ability to get the virus back under control as quickly as possible.
