Gov. Andy Beshear said at his press conference Saturday that he knows of just seven churches in the state that plan to have mass gatherings this weekend.
"This weekend 99.82% of all churches, all synagogues and all mosques in Kentucky have chosen to do the right thing," he said.
Sunday is Easter, and Beshear announced Friday that license plate numbers would be taken from vehicles at in-church services this weekend, and those attending the service would be ordered to self-quarantine.
That announcement has drawn criticism, including by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., but Beshear stood by his decision while giving four options of what could be done.

(14,595 posts)I notice Southeast Christian, Louisville's largest megachurch, has canceled all meetings and has put sermons on-line.
Just doing a quick scan of some small-town news sources, it also appears many of the small churches down in the country have also transitioned to on-line services, although it's been a struggle for many of them to embrace the technology.

(21,957 posts)getting these plate numbers is IMO, ridiculous. How are they going to know who was at the services by their tag numbers??? What are the repercussions if they do NOT self-quarantine?
I just don't get it. If someone can explain it to me, I will gladly listen.
