With the March 6 announcement of the first COVID-19 case in Kentucky, life made a sudden and dramatic change.

The virus outbreak that started on the other side of the world was now impacting everyday life in the Bluegrass State.

Kentucky’s actions to curb the outbreak were among the most aggressive of any Southern state.
