Wichita Mayor is pushing for citywide mask mandate

Wichita’s Mayor, Brandon Whipple, is pushing for a city wide mask mandate. It comes just one day after the county lifted it’s restrictions. Per Governor Kelly’s Executive Order 20-68, a mask mandate is still in effect in Sedgwick County public places which will expire at the end of the month. This means, the City will have the State’s mask mandate to follow for now, but if the Governor does not enact a new executive order, the restrictions for the City will no longer be applicable. This will give Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple time to discuss with council members as the conversations continue to split the aisle of the Wichita City Council.
