Adams said he will continue to monitor the situation. “I’ve shown that I'll put the interests of public health above my own personal political interests,” he said. “My decision was extremely controversial with Republicans. It turned out to be the right answer. But it was tough.”

This includes both the Jefferson and Fayette counties, the homes of Louisville and Lexington.
