Kroger is the latest in a list of major retailers to update their face mask policies, saying they strongly encourage all people to wear masks inside stores.
Target also announced it will require masks for employees and strongly recommend mask for shoppers. Sam's Club and Walmart will now require masks for workers in areas with high COVID-19 infection rate.
Norton Healthcare and Baptist Health have also joined UofL Health in requiring employees to get vaccinated against COVID-19. Norton President and CEO Russell Cox said all employees, with allowance for religious and medical exemption, must have their first dose by Sept. 15.
Rebecca Johnson has been in and out of the courtroom for the last 15 years, but she's never spent a day in prison.
Police said Johnson was driving more than 100 miles per hour and had blood alcohol content three times over the legal limit when she crashed and killed two people. Since then, she's been convicted of felony drug and weapon charges but only been on probation.
Now, loved ones of those killed are hopeful she will be locked up as prosecutors file to revoke Johnson's probation when she walked away from required substance abuse treatment.
Her probation revocation hearing is set for Sept. 27.
