Kentucky closes its schools and bans indoor dining again as virus cases surge.

Kentucky will suspend all in-person instruction in elementary, middle and high schools beginning next week, ban indoor service at bars and restaurants and impose new limits on indoor gatherings, Gov. Andy Beshear announced on Wednesday, citing a steep rise in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations in the state.“We are in the midst of exponential growth,” Governor Beshear said. “Our top five highest days ever in this virus of positive cases have all been in the last week.”
