Notes

Retrieved on the hypothesis that it carried the March 1, 2021 capacity increase; it does not. The 60 percent capacity step of March 1, 2021 was implemented through CHFS Healthy at Work requirements (Governor's release of Mar. 1, 2021, kentucky.gov Activity-stream prId=638) and appears in KY-018. Kept in the library so the ID chain is unbroken; do not cite as a COVID order.
