'We are still in the midst of this fight against a deadly and highly contagious virus,' Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said.
Recent protests broke out in several states—among them Kentucky, Ohio, Minnesota and Michigan—with demonstrators taking to the streets to call for an end to the stay-at-home orders that have drastically slowed the country's economy, as well as the virus' spread.
"We do have some folks up here in Kentucky today, saying we should reopen Kentucky immediately, right now," the governor said."Folks, that would kill people. It would absolutely kill people."Beshear unveiled the state's phased plan to reopen its economy on Friday. The guidelines, which mimics those released by the Trump administration this week, includes benchmarks such as ramping up testing for health care professionals and a 14-day decrease in confirmed cases.
"We see the ability to really start opening up in some small ways maybe leading up to May and some other small ways in May — and then have a lot more optimism as we get towards the end of it," he said.
