The Wichita Police Department is now issuing tickets for violations of the city’s mask ordinance that requires most people to wear protective face masks in public to fight the coronavirus. The ordinance passed July 3, but was not enforced until Saturday, when four tickets were issued at bars that were operating after the county’s 11 p.m. curfew. City officials say the tickets were issued only after education attempts failed and some bars and nightclubs across Wichita rebelled against COVID-19 restrictions aimed at curbing the spread of the coronavirus.
