Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said yesterday he and his family would be quarantining as a precautionary measure, because of being “potentially exposed to a person with COVID-19 late Saturday afternoon.”

A member of the security team drove the family on Saturday and later tested positive for the coronavirus.

Beshear, his family, and the trooper who drove them were reportedly wearing facial coverings.

Beshear and his family tested negative for COVID-19 after they were examined and are not currently symptomatic.

They are set to be tested regularly and will remain in quarantine until cleared.

No members of the household have been ordered to isolate.

Beshear will, however, continue to deliver daily virus updates remotely for the time being.
