L3: traffic alert red two accidents on i-75 scott county @ 126 mm; fayette county @ exit 115 the first accident is on i-75 north at the 1-26 mile marker in scott county and involves four vehicles.

We know the accident reconstruction unit is on the scene.

We have another injury accident on i-75... this in fayette county.... near the 1-15 exit... which is the keeneland- airport exit.

You will want to avoid both of those areas right now.

Hello and thank you for staying with us.

C1 3 hello and thank you for staying with us.

He says it's a record we never wanted to set... but today... the state did... a new single- day record for coronavirus cases.

Fs vo bullets:no coronavirus in kentucky source: office of the governor new cases: 1,163 total cases: 3 ... the governor is reporting 1,163 new cases.

That brings the overall total to 36,945 cases however... the governor says today's totals include cases that weren't previously reported because of a computer glitch over the weekend.

The governor is also reporting seven more covid- related deaths.

Since the start of the pandemic... 790 kentuckians have lost their lives to the virus.

And looking at the positivity rate.... that is now at 5- point-62 percent .

One coronavirus- related death is being reported in lexington.

Fs vo bullets:no lexington coronavirus cases source: lexington-fayette county health dept.

New deaths: 1 ... the lexington- fayette county health department says it was a person in their 70's.

This brings the number of death in lexington to 48.

The health department is also reporting 62 new coronavirus cases.

This marks the fourth consecutive day the number of new cases was under 70.

The number of coronavirus cases in the city is at 4,106.

Of that number... 3,249 people have recovered from the virus.... according to the health department.

Lexington's public health commissioner...dr. kraig humbaugh...says he wants to avoid a potential second health crisis while battling the coronavirus.

He's talking about the upcoming flu season.

Humbaugh says he wants all lexingtonians to get their flu shot...saying right now only about 50 pecent do each year.

He says it's easy to confuse flu symtoms with covid symtoms...especially in the beginning stages of the coronavirus.

Humbaugh says flu vaccines will have to be given differently this year due to safety precautions...and now is the best time to prepare.

####### ots image:left voting during covid-19 mail in ballots.jpg the governor's office is responding to the secretary of state's new plan for a november election...once again in the midst of a pandemic.

But we can't see that plan yet...the secretary saying he wants the governor to look at it first.

L3: coronavirus outbreak white general election negotiations underway frankfort secretary michael adams calls his proposal a bipartisan plan.

People across the country hailed kentucky's approach to the summer primary...especially absentee voting for all it's something the governor wants again..

But adams says can't happen.

L3: coronavirus outbreak white michael adams secretary of state "we had about 800,000 people vote absentee in june and that's great.

We can have about 800,000 people vote absentee in november maybe slightly more.

But we can't have 2 million people or 2 1/2 million people vote absentee our system will crash we're not designed for that."

L3: coronavirus outbreak white general election negotiations underway frankfort instead...adams says there will be more excuses allowed...so more people can stay safe at home and vote absentee based on age or health.

He knows he can't make everyone happy... but he thinks this'll satisfy about 80- percent.

The governor and the secretary had their first conversation wednesday, since adams submitted the prorposal ots video tape:right back to school debate &lt;none&gt; more students and teachers are speaking about how they want schools to return in person this fall- some saying it should be a choice to come back to the classroom, others saying there's no way to do that safely- and as medical workers push forward with potential vaccines- russia claims to have one approved already, but experts aren't convinced its safe and effective.

Trevor ault has the latest.

L3: coronavirus outbreak white back to school battle as the clock winds down for american school districts to lay out plans for the fall semester-- three new jersey education associations want all schools to move online-saying safe in-person learning is 'not yet achievable' new jersey's governor-signing an exective order- clearing public and non public schools and colleges to reopen-those districts who cannot meet health guidelines will begin online gov phil murphy: "this will not be a normal school year, furthermore there is not a one size fits all plan to this very difficult situation."

Thousands of students across america are already in quarantine because of confirmed covid 19 cases in schools that returned for in person learning- though some students are still fighting to stay in the classroom-- sot - mariah kerkowski / student "everyone has the right to make their own decisions and have opinions but we shouldn't be forced to go online because others are fearful."

In the race for a medical solution to the pandemic-- russia is now claiming to have the first approved covid 19 vaccine-though health officials around the world say it hasn't yet been properly tested dr. fauci: i hope that the russians have actually, definitively proven that the vaccine is safe and effective.

I seriously doubt that they've done that.

Right now the united states has several potential vacccines in late stage human trials- including one from drug company moderna-that are being tested on tens of thousands of volunteers- the trump administration aims to have hundreds of millions of doses available in the beginning of 2021 secretary alex azar: never before has a vaccine in the developed world have gone from phase one to phase three as quickly as the moderna vaccine tag: today scientists with the children's hospital of philadelphia- who's projections are often used by the white house coronavirus task force-say based on current trends-the cities likely to become the next hot spots for the virus are baltimore, chicago and boston.
