With Shawnee County facing dwindling resources amid a rise in COVID-19 cases, residents are once again under a state of disaster emergency regarding that disease. Shawnee County Commission Chairman Kevin Cook signed a document Thursday putting that in place for seven days after the declaration was issued by Dusty Nichols, the county’s COVID-19 incident commander. … The issuance of Thursday’s declaration puts the state of Kansas on notice that Shawnee County is “maxed out” on available resources for dealing with COVID “from hospital beds to staffing to everything else,” and might ask the state to help meet its needs, Nichols said.
