Local data shows a trend of decreasing COVID-19 positivity rates in Sedgwick County. Dr. Garold Minns, Sedgwick County's Local Health Officer, signed a new local health order reducing restrictions including mass gathering sizes, bar and restaurant hours, and more.
Mass gathering will now be limited at 100 people. Businesses will generally be at 75 percent capacity, or 150 people.
Commissioners decided to bring the order back for a discussion during tomorrow's regular meeting at 9 a.m.
The order requires people must still be masked and maintain 6 feet of social distancing. Businesses and organizations are responsible for ensuring that individuals comply with the order's mask-wearing, mass gathering, percentage of fire code capacity limitations, and social distancing requirements. Businesses are expected to make efforts to comply with fire code capacity limitations included in this order.
This order will be in effect from 12:01 a.m., February 7 through 11:59 p.m., March 20.
