Kansas is seeing increasingly larger numbers of new COVID-19 cases and a surge in cases of the faster-spreading delta variant. State Department of Health and Environment data showed that Kansas averaged 371 new cases a day for the seven days ending Monday.
That was the highest figure in more than four months, since the agency's data showed an average of 404 new cases a day for the seven days ending Feb. 26. The department also reported a nearly 28% increase in confirmed cases of the delta variant since Friday.
Meanwhile, Wyandotte County's health department announced plans to expand an existing vaccine lottery.
