The Johnson County Board of County Commissioners held a special virtual board meeting on Monday, March 30 to expand testing.
The board approved a program for additional COVID-19 testing in an amount not to exceed $400,000 for between 3,000 and 5,000 test results and authorize the chairman of the Board of County Commissioners and the vice chairman to enter into a contract(s) that are necessary to effectuate this action. Learn more about the testing.
The board also received an update on the Governor’s Executive Order 20-16, establishing a statewide stay-at-home order.
Watch the recorded broadcast of the meeting.
On March 28, Governor Laura Kelly issued a stay at home order for all of Kansas. Executive Order No. 20-16 goes into effect at 12:01 a.m. on March 30 and supersedes Johnson County’s stay at home order that went into effect March 24. Currently the governor’s order is set to expire on April 19, and if that remains the case, the county’s order, which when established was set to expire at 12:01 a.m. on April 23, would go back into effect.
The state is working on FAQs to provide more clarity on its order, and we will post a link to them as soon as they are made available. Questions on the state’s stay at home order can be emailed to KEFF@ks.gov.
If you are seeking enforcement, please contact your municipal police department. DO NOT CALL 911. Use these administrative numbers.
