The governor of Kansas ordered that masks be worn in public and at work where social distancing is not possible.
“The last few months have presented many new challenges for Kansans, and all of us want to return to our normal lives and routines,” Gov. Laura Kelly, a Democrat, said in a news release. “Unfortunately, we have seen a spike in the number of COVID-19 cases, hospitalizations, and deaths across our state and our country. We must act. Viruses don’t stop at county lines. This order doesn’t change where you can go or what you can do. But wearing a mask is a simple and effective way to keep Kansans healthy and keep Kansas open for business.”
