Governor Andy Beshear has directed that flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff for one week in honor of the more than 100 Kentuckians who have died due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19).
Beshear says flags should be lowered to half-staff at state office buildings from Tuesday morning through sundown on Monday, April 20.
He adds “each Kentuckian lost to the coronavirus is someone’s mother or father; someone’s child; someone’s significant other – someone loved by their family and friends. Paying tribute in this fashion is just one more way we, as a commonwealth, can collectively mourn the loss of these members of our community.”
The governor also encourages individuals, businesses, and organizations throughout the state to join in this tribute.
