FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky is up to 567 sites where residents can get COVID-19 vaccines, the governor said Thursday.

Gov. Andy Beshear said the state has added 157 new sites in the last week, most of them at pharmacies.

More than 845,000 Kentuckians have received at least the first shot of a COVID-19 vaccine, the governor said at his pandemic briefing.

“Our pace continues to pick up,” Beshear said.

Kentucky reported 1,068 new cases of the virus on Thursday, and a positivity rate of 4.4%, the lowest rate since Oct. 12, Beshear said. There were 28 newly reported deaths.
