Kentucky coronavirus patient resisted quarantine

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says one newly diagnosed coronavirus patient had resisted a quarantine. Beshear says Kentucky now has 18 cases, and officials are awaiting more than two dozen test results. The newest positives for the novel coronavirus were in Fayette, Montgomery and Nelson counties. The governor says the patient in Nelson refused to self-quarantine. The man was being kept at home Saturday with a law enforcement officer nearby. Beshear also said child care centers in the state should consider temporarily closing within 72 hours. The state’s court system took steps Friday to halt most proceedings in response to the virus.
