For the first time in over a year, by Friday there will be no mask mandates anywhere in the Kansas City area. Wyandotte County leaders have decided Thursday night to let the current health order requiring face masks expire. The order expires at 11:59 p.m. Thursday. Wyandotte County was the only county in the Kansas City area — and the only county in the state of Kansas — to have a mask mandate after Douglas County also decided earlier this week to let its mask order expire. County commissioners are still urging people to get vaccinated and follow guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
