Healthy at Work
REOPENING KENTUCKY
To ensure the health and safety of Kentucky families, Governor Beshear urges Kentuckians to remain Healthy at Home and follow the federal and state protocols for limiting the spread of COVID-19, which can be found at kycovid19.ky.gov. Everyone needs to do their part for themselves, their loved ones, and our community. We have a responsibility to ourselves and to each other to protect our state and our community.
Healthy at Work is a phased approach to reopen Kentucky’s economy. It is based on criteria set by public health experts and advice from industry experts. Each phase will be rolled out in steps to ensure the Commonwealth’s citizens can safely return to work while still protecting the most vulnerable Kentuckians.
All entities currently operating must meet certain minimum requirements in addition to the requirements and guidance specific to their industry sector.
Please click on Minimum Requirements for more details. Industry-specific guidance is also provided in PDF links in the table below. Industry-specific guidance will be updated as additional sectors of the economy reopen.
