It continues a downward trend still marred by high death counts. Beshear reported 1,003 new coronavirus cases in Kentucky on Monday. He reported 40 more virus-related deaths. The statewide rate of people testing positive for COVID-19 is 7.78%. That’s the lowest rate since Nov. 10. The state’s weekly numbers of new virus cases have declined for four straight weeks for the first time since the outset of the pandemic.
