KENTUCKY GOVERNOR: MANDATORY QUARANTINE FOR ANYONE ATTENDING EASTER SERVICES IN THE STATE

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear pleaded with residents to avoid gathering this weekend for the Easter holiday. He went a step further in warning that anyone who violates the state’s stay-at-home order will be subject to a 14-day mandatory self-quarantine.

Beshear said the state will record license plate information of people seen attending mass gatherings and turn that information over to local public health officials. Quarantine notices will then be delivered in person.

All places of worship throughout Kentucky previously closed and none intend to hold services this weekend, according to the governor.

Senator Rand Paul, a Republican who is recovering from coronavirus, criticized Beshear’s order in a tweet.

“Taking license plates at church? Quarantining someone for being Christian on Easter Sunday? Someone needs to take a step back here,” Senator Paul tweeted. But Beshear, a Democrat, said “it’s not fair” for some people to violate the state’s stay-at-home order and risk spreading COVID-19 to others who are following the directive.

As of Friday, Kentucky has 1,693 confirmed COVID-19 cases and 90 recorded deaths
