Johnson County requires masks, social distancing through April as more are vaccinated

Johnson County has ended several COVID-19 restrictions, but officials decided Thursday to continue mandating mask-wearing and six feet of social distancing in public through the end of April. The move comes as Kansas Republican lawmakers pledge to end the state’s mask mandate as early as next week, and new state policies make it unclear whether counties will have the power to enforce their own mandates. The Johnson County Board of Commissioners voted 5-2 to approve the public health order while removing limits on gatherings and some other mandates in the previous order, which was set to expire at the end of March.
