Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple has been watching the COVID-19 numbers closely over the last year. “COVID’s spiking again, it’s just like what we saw last year after a big holiday,” said Whipple. But even with the more contagious delta variant now responsible for most of the new cases in the state, he doesn’t plan on issuing any mandates. “The difference today than it was a year ago is individuals have it within their own power to protect themselves from COVID. Everyone now can go get a free vaccine that has shown to be incredibly effective, even with these new variants,” said Whipple.
