As Kentuckians began to venture out more and more, it is important that we continue to
protect ourselves by practicing everyday preventive measures. In general, the longer you interact
with someone the greater your chances of becoming infected with COVID-19. Keeping hand
sanitizer, a face mask, and tissues readily available plus maintaining a physical distance of at
least 6 feet are still a must. Although there is no way to ensure zero risk of infection, the graphic
below provides insight on things you should consider before leaving your home. Additional
guidance for using restaurants, gyms, nail salons, libraries, parks, or attending cookouts can be
