During this time of uncertainty over the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), there are a few things still operating as usual in Kentucky and a few places open with special precautions. We’d suggest it is a good time to get out and enjoy the outdoors with your immediate household and practice social distancing to help curb the spread of the new coronavirus. We will keep this post updated as we hear about more and more things that are open. If you have news you’d like to add to this list, please message us on the KY Spotlight Facebook Page.
