After a marathon of comments from residents opposed to Wichita’s mask mandate, the City Council voted to extend it by as much as another six weeks. The council voted 5-2 to extend the mask mandate until Oct. 21 or until the COVID threat drops below the green threshold and the countywide positive test rate drops below 5 percent, whichever comes first. Council members James Clendenin and Jeff Blubaugh dissented.
