Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly has launched public-service announcements about COVID-19. The 30-second television ads, that started Wednesday. reflect fears that people who travel over the Fourth of July holiday will return with the fast-spreading delta variant.
One 30-second television spot features Kelly and another features her and U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids, who represents the state’s portion of the Kansas City area in Congress. Both tell viewers that the coronavirus pandemic is not over; the best protection is to get vaccinated, and people should wear masks and social distance if they aren’t inoculated.
Kansas reported 283 delta variant cases as of Wednesday, up 27.5% since Monday.
