We also learned at the news conference that officials are closing visitations to state prisons and asking schools to prepare short-notice closing plans.

“We want to be prepared, want to be sure kids get the meals they need and the care that they need," Governor Beshear said.

He also encouraged churches to cancel services this weekend to help stop the spread of the virus and other illnesses.

“I don’t believe that whether you go to church during this time is a test of faith, I believe God gives us wisdom to protect each other, and we should do that," Beshear said. “And I am going to recommend that churches cancel their services for this weekend.”

Governor Beshear is also advising people to avoid large crowds, like the Girls Sweet 16 underway this week and the boys games next week. He asked people to follow the CDC guidelines and for people 60 and older or with heart, lung or kidney issues to not go.

The Bluegrass Politics Twitter account, ran by the Lexington Herald-Leader, posted that the annual leader prayer breakfast this week is canceled. The governor is also recommending Kentucky employers let their employees work from home whenever possible.

The paper also reported the city of Lexington canceled the 2020 Lexington St. Patrick's Parade and Festival this Saturday, due to the coronavirus threat.

Governor Beshear also mentioned the General Assembly is instituting some other rules and recommendations, and that the state Capitol is going through a more extensive cleaning.
