Wichita bar owners argue a Covid curfew violates their constitutional rights. But will their lawsuit hold up in court?

Under the latest order from Sedgwick County health officer Garold Minns, bars and nightclubs have to close their doors at 11 p.m. and limit occupancy to 50% capacity in an effort to slow the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. But the group of Wichita bar owners challenging local Covid-19 restrictions in court say they feel singled out by the rules and want their hours back. In a civil lawsuit refiled Friday in Sedgwick County District Court, a long list of plaintiffs representing 11 Wichita establishments argue a business curfew violates their right to due process protected under the 14th Amendment and the Kansas Bill of Rights.
