Sedgwick County announced Thursday that per executive order No. 20-68 issued by Governor Kelly on November 18, 2020, requiring people to wear masks while in public spaces, and which became effective November 25, 2020 — this executive order applied to counties that did not have a local mask order already in place. At the time, Sedgwick County had a local health order in place; therefore, the Governor's order did not apply.
However, the action taken by the Sedgwick County Board of County Commissioners Wednesday to revoke the local health order means the Governor's executive order (No. 20-68) is in effect.
On Wednesday, Governor Kelly signed SB 40 and it was published in the Kansas Register meaning that executive order No. 20-68 will expire on March 31, 2021.
