(KNZA)--A stay-at-home order has been issued for Doniphan County, effective Thursday, March 26.
The order, signed by County Health Officer Dr. Bradley Gaul on Monday, will remain in effect through April 6.
While no positive COVID-19 cases have been identified in Doniphan County, the order is being issued to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.
The order requires residents to stay at home except for esssential needs.
In addition, it orders all businesses that do not fill an essential need to close to the public.
A shelter-in-place order for neighboring St. Joseph, Missouri takes effect Tuesday. In addition, similar orders take effect Tuesday for five Kansas Counties--including Leavenworth.
