• Louisville officials "continued to address community concerns about reports of large gatherings of people, the Courier Journal reports. Police Chief Steve Conrad said in a Facebook Live session that his officers spend a "great deal of time responding to situations where people are gathering" but "We cannot arrest someone for standing too close to another person — nor do we want to do that. . . .
