As the number of new COVID-19 cases continues to drop, Johnson, Wyandotte and Jackson counties will join the rest of the Kansas City metro and lift their curfews on bars and restaurants. In a joint announcement on Thursday, health officials said the three counties will allow bars and restaurants to resume normal hours. But other restrictions remain in place. At the same time, Jackson County Executive Frank White warned people to remain vigilant as a new, more easily transmissible strain of the coronavirus has been detected in wastewater systems in eastern Jackson County, Kansas City and in wastewater originating in Johnson County.
