- With a reminder that every person who dies from covid-19 is more than just a number, James Temple tells the story of his grandmother who recently died alone in a hospital with covid-19 in the Lousiville Courier-Journal. He writes,"If this faceless killer can find my grandmother, homebound, in rural Kentucky, it can find us all. We're all more than a number, lets not forget. Her name was June. She was a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt. She loved us all, and we all loved her."
- Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton urges the business community to donate masks, gowns and respirators, often referred to as personal protection equipment or PPE, or to consider manufacturing it as health care supplies dwindle. "It is now a matter of life or death," she said at a Monday press conference at city hall, Beth Musgrave reports for the Lexington Herald- Leader.
- The Herald-Leader reports that Lexington police received 86 calls from Friday to Sunday about alleged large group gatherings that were not practicing social distancing at a number of different locations, including yard-sales, cookouts, city parks and parking lots. A police department spokeswoman told the paper that while police can encourage larger groups to break up, "unless the group gathering is violating other city ordinances -- such as the noise ordinance -- police cannot issue citations," Beth Musgrave writes.
- The Herald-Leader shows how Lexington appears nearly deserted in a 3:08 minute aerial video of the city, including images of empty parks, an empty parking lot at the Fayette Mall and Keeneland, with no-one there during these perfect spring days of April.
