Gov. Laura Kelly to consider returning to Phase 2 of reopening

If current Kansas COVID-19 trends continue, Gov. Laura Kelly would consider moving the state back to Phase 2 of reopening. Kelly announced the possibility of taking a step back in the “Ad Astra: A Plan to Reopen Kansas” during a news conference Monday afternoon at the state Capitol. Kelly said she plans to keep an eye on the numbers this week and will make a determination early next week about whether to issue an executive order that would again limit mass gatherings to no more than 15 people and close most entertainment venues, swimming pools, and bars and nightclubs.
