Operative words

All mass gatherings are hereby prohibited. Mass gatherings include any event or convening that brings together groups of individuals, including, but not limited to, community, civic, public, leisure, faith-based, or sporting events; parades; concerts; festivals; conventions; fundraisers; and similar activities. For the avoidance of doubt, a mass gathering does not include normal operations at airports, bus and train stations, medical facilities, libraries, shopping malls and centers... It also does not include typical office environments, factories, or retail or grocery stores where large numbers of people are present, but maintain appropriate social distancing.

Enforcement

Local health departments delegated authority to implement; violations punishable under KRS ch. 39A (EO 2020-257 para. 8 'mass gatherings remain prohibited')

Notes

No numerical cap; any convening prohibited; offices and factories permitted only with distancing
