Frankfort, Ky.–Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has announced he and his family will quarantine after a member of his security detail who drove with his family tested positive for COVID-19.
Beshear said in a social media post Sunday, “Thank you to all who have reached out. I’m blessed! I get to spend more time with the three people I love most in the world.”
The governor said he and his family feel fine and show no symptoms. Beshear’s wife and their two children also will quarantine.
Beshear’s family will be tested regularly for the virus, his office said.
“So we’re doing what those tracers ask us and others to do,” he said. “We’re going to be quarantining until the (state) Department for Public Health says that we’ve completed what we need to.”
