The daily coronavirus briefing was held today in frankfort.... but it was questionable whether governor andy beshear would lead it after falling ill earlier in the day.
That's tonight's top story at five.
L3: top story white governor and family test negative for covid-19 tested after governor, first lady fa ... governor beshear and first lady britainy beshear were scheduled to attend a virtual ribbon cutting at one this afternoon.... but the governor's office says the two began feeling sick earlier in the day.... and were forced to abruptly cancel their appearance.
His office released a statement late this afternoon.... saying the governor and his family have tested negative for covid-19.
While beshear was said to be feeling better... today's update was held via video and not a press conference.
Here are the updated numbers from the governor on coronavirus cases in the state.
Yesterday.... we told you the governor cautioned that the numbers released on monday may be artificially low because of a computer glitch fs img txt bullets:no coronavirus in kentucky source: the governor's office coronavirusbkgd2.jpg new c ... there are 562 new cases of the virus.
That brings the total to 35,793 cases.
The state is also reporting eight more deaths from the virus.
So far... 783 kentuckians have died from the virus.
To the positivity rate.... which the state is watching to determine what restrictions to lift.... that is now at 5-point-87 percent.
Ots image:left covid-10 recovery coronavirus 5.jpg more than three thousand people have recovered from coronavirus in fayette county.
But what does recovered mean exactly?
Abc 36's cody adams spoke with the health department to find out more.
L3: coronavirus outbreak white what does recovered mean?
Lexington how does the health department determine exactly what it means to be recovered?
Kevin hall/ lfchd: people use the word recovery but really what we are doing is releasing people back into public activities because they're no longer infectious.
It's all based off of recomendations from the cdc.
Kevin hall/ lfchd: the guidelines have shifted.
We go by cdc recommendations and they have updated that since the start of the outbreak because they have more people to study and common.
It's laid out as ino this... for most persons with covid-19 illness, isolation and precautions can generally be discontinued 10 days after the first day of symptoms and no fever for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medications, and with improvement of other symptoms. kevin hall/ lfchd:its not looking at people 100% to full health they may still have lingering issues but they are simply not at risk according to the cdc of infecting other.
And that's what's important.
We don't want anyone going out and spreading this to others.
New guidelines from the cdc say a negative test is no longer necessary.
Kevin hall/ lfchd: so just because you were positive and you need that second test to get back to work, that's really not the case.
Talk to your health department talk to your medical provider to see what other options you have to get back to work.
All of this means your local health departments play an even bigger role.
Kevin hall/ lfchd: what people don't understand is if you are considered infectious we are trying to check in with people on a daily basis, check on their symptoms and to just give them a little support.
In studio cody adams abc 36 news kentucky's secretary of state has submitted his preliminary plan to the governor for how voting would work in the november general election.
According to a report in the lexington herald- leader...michael adams' plan does not include the same expanded voting provisions used in june's primary.
The report says it doesn't have no- excuse absentee voting by mail for all voters.
That puts adams on a collision course with the governor who wants mail-in voting available to everyone.
No comment yet from the governor.
State law says the two men have to agree on an election plan.

Rachel rieck is a senior at madison central high school... she says every student looks forward to having the experience of their senior year.
She says finishing out her junior year online because of the coronavirus was difficult.

Rieck says that one thing that can help with anxiety for students... is being around people in a positive environment.

Recently... human remains were found near the houck family farm.
Just like in the past when remains were found.... the possibility it could be her daughter's brings her mixed emotions.
"i prayed, it was.

Now, she thinks with the f-b-i and all of its resources, she can find those answers she's been desperate to get...though she knows it comes at a price for her and crystal's five children.
"it scares me.
Because i've held that together this far.
But i think once someone's arrested.
And i see that for my own as.
Is it really going to hit me hard, everything that's happened and what i've been through.
And what these kids and my whole family have been through."

Governor andy beshear says he has newfound empathy for those who have to wait to get covid-19 tests results.
That's because he and his family had to undergo testing today.
That's tonight's top story at six.
L3: top story white governor and family test negative for covid-19 tested after governor, first lady fa ... governor beshear and first lady britainy beshear were scheduled to attend a virtual ribbon cutting at one this afternoon.... but the governor's office says the two began feeling sick earlier in the day.... and were forced to abruptly cancel their appearance.
His office released a statement late this afternoon.... saying the governor and his family have tested negative for covid-19.
While beshear was said to be feeling better... today's update was held via video and not a press conference.
Here are the updated numbers from the governor on coronavirus cases in the state.
Yesterday.... we told you the governor cautioned that the numbers released on monday may be artificially low because of a computer glitch fs img txt bullets:no coronavirus in kentucky source: the governor's office coronavirusbkgd2.jpg new c ... there are 562 new cases of the virus.
That brings the total to 35,793 cases.
The state is also reporting eight more deaths from the virus.
So far... 783 kentuckians have died from the virus.
To the positivity rate.... which the state is watching to determine what restrictions to lift.... that is now at 5-point-87 percent.
Fs vo bullets:no lexington coronavirus cases source: lexington-fayette county health dept.
New cases: 49 ... lexington has hit a new milestone in coronavirus cases .
With 49 new cases reported today.... the city now has surpassed 4,000 cases overall the good news... there were no new deaths.... which means the total remains at 47.
Ots image:left covid-10 recovery coronavirus 5.jpg more than three thousand people have recovered from coronavirus in fayette county.
But what does recovered mean exactly?
Abc 36's cody adams spoke with the health department to find out more.
L3: coronavirus outbreak white what does recovered mean?
Lexington how does the health department determine exactly what it means to be recovered?
Kevin hall/ lfchd: people use the word recovery but really what we are doing is releasing people back into public activities because they're no longer infectious.
It's all based off of recomendations from the cdc.
Kevin hall/ lfchd: the guidelines have shifted.
We go by cdc recommendations and they have updated that since the start of the outbreak because they have more people to study and more information so this is not uncommon.
It's laid out as this... for most persons with covid-19 illness, isolation and precautions can generally be discontinued 10 days after the first day of symptoms and no fever for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever-reducing medications, and with improvement of other symptoms. kevin hall/ lfchd:its not looking at people 100% to full health they may still have lingering issues but they are simply not at risk according to the cdc of infecting other.
And that's what's important.
We don't want anyone going out and spreading this to others.
New guidelines from the cdc say a negative test is no longer necessary.
Kevin hall/ lfchd: so just because you were positive and you need that second test to get back to work, that's really not the case.
Talk to your health department talk to your medical provider to see what other options you have to get back to work.
All of this means your local health departments play an even bigger role.
Kevin hall/ lfchd: what people don't understand is if you are considered infectious we are trying to check in with people on a daily basis, check on their symptoms and to just give them a little support.
In studio cody adams abc 36 news kentucky's secretary of state has submitted his preliminary plan to the governor for how voting would work in the november general election.
According to a report in the lexington herald- leader...michael adams' plan does not include the same expanded voting provisions used in june's primary.
The report says it doesn't have no- excuse absentee voting by mail for all voters.
That puts adams on a collision course with the governor who wants mail-in voting available to everyone.
No comment yet from the governor.
State law says the two men have to agree on an election plan.
A day after the governor asked schools to hold-off on in-person classroom teaching until late september because of the coronavirus...a group of madison county parents and students gathered outside that district's main office to show their support for in- person learning.
Abc 36's alex king takes you to the demonstration.
"small but mighty... that's how one mom described the group here at madison county schools showing support for the tough decisions being made involving kids returning to school."
It's our community, our kids, and we feel like it's our decision."
Marcy cummings has three kids in madison county schools... one of them is her daughter hannah, who is in seventh grade at madison county middle school.
She says they wanted to show support for school leaders as they work on making some difficult decisions for the school year.
"i'm a pediatric occupational therapist so i've worked with a lot of kiddos who have struggled with mental illness and things like that but i have seen even with my own kids that you can get kind of bummed.
We are not made for isolation, i feel like we need socialization, and even that connection with your teachers."
This all comes after governor andy beshear's recommendation that schools open whenever they feel comfortable but delay in-person classes until sept.

Rachel rieck is a senior at madison central high school... she says every student looks forward to having the experience of their senior year.
She says finishing out her junior year online because of the coronavirus was difficult.
"i consider myself an introvert, i'm not out in people's business all the time, so at the very beginning i was like awesome i don't have to talk to people for a long time but then as it got on i was like i want to see my friends."
Rieck says that one thing that can help with anxiety for students... is being around people in a positive environment.
While some schools have decided to start online... others still are weighing in- person...it's unclear when that option might happen...but these madison county residents want school leaders to know they are behind them... reporting in richmond, alex king, abc 36 news.

Jason wraps :adliboff: ots image:right praying for answers crystal rogers.jpg the mother of missing bardstown mother crystal c1 3 rogers is speaking out for the first time since the f-b-i took over the five year investigation into her daughter's disappearance.
Abc 36's christy bollinger has more on sherry ballard's new hope she will get answers.
"this has been my dream come true for a long time."
The day sherry ballard's been waiting for finally came last week.
That's when the fbi took over her daughter's case.
"i've begged for this.
I've done everything possible that i could to make them stand up and take attention because i think i need someone of their magnitude to break this case and give me the justice that i need."
Immediately after taking over the case.... the f-b-i searched properties belonging to crystal's ex- boyfriend.... brooks houck... and his family.
Houck has been the main suspect since crystal went missing july 20-15.
Recently... human remains were found near the houck family farm.
Just like in the past when remains were found.... the possibility it could be her daughter's brings her mixed emotions.
"i prayed, it was.
And then i felt ashamed of myself and guilty because i prayed, it was, um, i wanted it to be to have closure."
Now, she thinks with the f-b-i and all of its resources, she can find those answers she's been desperate to get...though she knows it comes at a price for her and crystal's five children.
"it scares me.
Because i've held that together this far.
But i think once someone's arrested.
And i see that for my own as.
Is it really going to hit me hard, everything that's happened and what i've been through.
And what these kids and my whole family have been through."
Even when and if her daughter's case is solved... she'll be left trying to answer this haunting question.
"how do you move on?"
Christy bollinger, abc 36 news.
The f-b-i ha s set up a website to share information about the case.
You can find it on our website w-t-v-q dot com.
