TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Gov. Laura Kelly has announced that she will allow many Kansas businesses to reopen next week if they can maintain social distancing.
She also said Thursday that she hopes to lift all state limits on mass gatherings and other restrictions by June 15.
Kelly is lifting a statewide stay-at-home order Monday. But her plan won’t allow bars, gyms, theaters, barbershops, hair and nail salons or state-owned casinos to reopen until at least May 18 and local officials will be allowed to impose stricter rules.
Meanwhile, the state began testing all inmates at its prison in Lansing because of a growing coronavirus outbreak.
