As Kansas City reinstates its mask mandate, health officials in Johnson County said they also are concerned about the spread of COVID-19. “Cases are increasing rapidly, driven largely by the Delta variant. Johnson County Department of Health and Environment is concerned about this,” Sanmi Areola, Johnson County’s top public health official, said in a statement. “We are reviewing the updated guidance from CDC and will continue to update our residents and elected officials.” The Johnson County board of commissioners meet on Thursday. On the agenda is an update on COVID-19 and vaccination in the county.
