Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple says the city will take action against businesses that openly defy a new county health order meant to slow the spread of the coronavirus. Speaking Thursday during his weekly media briefing, Whipple says the city will try to educate businesses first about following the new guidelines. But if that doesn’t work, it will report the violations to Sedgwick County, which is in charge of enforcing the mandate. “I think we’re looking towards the type of businesses that bring people into a room and make a lot of money … and are doing so knowing full well that they are putting those people at risk and putting our entire community at risk,” Whipple said.
