The Chase County Board of Commissioners held a special meeting Thursday afternoon to implement a stay-at-home order from the Chase County Public Health Department.
The order begins at 12:01 a.m. Saturday morning and will remain in effect until April 28, unless amended sooner, superseded or rescinded.
The order mandates a 14-day home quarantine for Chase County residents who have: “traveled to a state with known widespread community transmission,” “traveled to Illinois or New Jersey on or after March 23,” visited specific Colorado counties, traveled on a cruise on or after March 15, traveled internationally on or after March 15, traveled for non-essential reasons to Johnson, Douglas or Wyandotte counties on or after March 25, and/or received notification “that you are a close contact of a laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19.”
