A northeast Kansas city and its home county will require employees and visitors to wear masks inside their buildings.
The city of Lawrence and Douglas County are adding to the local mandates aimed at controlling the more contagious COVID-19 delta variant. They announced the mask requirements Friday. The rules take effect Monday and apply whether someone has been vaccinated against COVID-19 or not.
Their announcements came the same day the University of Kansas imposed an indoor mask mandate at its main campus in Lawrence and a satellite campus in Johnson County. In Manhattan, both the city and Kansas State University are requiring masks inside their buildings.
