More than half of Kansas counties now have mask mandates

According to the Kansas Department of Emergency Management, at least 22 counties have added a mask mandate since Nov. 18. This also doesn’t include cities that have created a mask mandate themselves within counties that have opted out. This is a much different reaction from when the governor issued her first mask mandate at the start of the pandemic, when 80 counties rejected it. Part of that change in attitude could be due to the recent surge in COVID-19 cases in Kansas and across the nation.
