Wednesday marked Kentucky's deadliest day on record with 37 new COVID-19 related deaths, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said during a press conference.

The previous record was set Tuesday with 35 deaths.

"We're losing a record number of people," Beshear said.

He also said the federal and state databases are "struggling to keep up" because of the influx of cases.

Beshear reported 3,601 new coronavirus cases on Wednesday, the state's sixth-highest daily increase on record, bringing the total number of coronavirus cases in Kentucky to 186,765. Of the cases reported Wednesday, 379 are people age 18 and under.
