Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly plans to take a rapid COVID-19 test after a lawmaker who attended one of her public events tested positive.
Kelly spokesperson Sam Coleman said the governor planned to take the test Wednesday afternoon but has had no symptoms and likely is not infected. Coleman said the governor decided to take the test upon learning that state Rep. John Alcala, (D-Topeka), tested positive after attending a Kelly news conference Monday at a north Topeka grocery store.
Kelly was masked during most of the event and when she was interacting with others. Alcala said he had no contact with Kelly.
