There have been 723 new coronavirus cases and 6 new deaths in Kansas since Monday. With Kansas schools reopening, the state’s top doctor is expressing his concern about the virus spread. Since Monday, 12 new coronavirus clusters have popped up in Kansas, 5 of those new clusters come from colleges and universities in the state. Kansas Department of Health and Environment Secretary Lee Norman says the substantial cases on college campuses isn’t surprising, but it is occurring much earlier than expected. Most schools began classes just this week but are already seeing positive cases. Secretary Norman says this is likely because students were already sick before going to school. Norman adds this is a further reason for schools to not hold large gatherings, like sporting events or large lectures, right now.
