Dr. Connie White, the agency’s deputy commissioner, said based on recent guidance from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Kentucky students who either test positive for COVID-19 or have temperatures above 100.4 degrees must be without fevers for 24 hours without taking fever-reducing medicine rather than 72 hours.

Gov. Andy Beshear, who is expected to announce new steps Monday in the state’s efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19, has said school districts could be asked to take such steps given Kentucky’s recent COVID-19 escalation.
