(KAIR)--Atchison County is now operating under what’s being called Phase 2.5 of the reopening plan following closures due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The resolution approving the Local Health Order allowing this next phase was adopted Tuesday by the Atchison County Commission.

According to a release from Atchison County Emergency Management Director Wes Lanter, the order took effect at 12:01 a.m. and will expire June 9 at 11:59 p.m.

Lanter said Phase 2.5 follows the expiration of Governor Kelly’s order.
