(KAIR)--Three of the five who tested positive for COVID-19 in Jefferson County have recovered.

That word was delivered by Crystal VanHoutan, Health Department Administrator for Jefferson County, when the Jefferson County Commission met Monday.

According to the minutes of the meeting, VanHoutan told the Commission the two additional patients are being monitored, with the pair having no exposure identified.

The other three patients, who have recovered, had exposure due to travel or work.

VanHoutan recommended that county closures be extended through May 1, in conjunction with Kansas Governor Laura Kelly’s Executive Order.

Jefferson County Emergency Services Director James Tweed echoed that recommendation, and additionally requested that the County’s Disaster Declaration be extended until May 1.

The Commission voted to extend it, as well as the county closures, meaning public access to the Jefferson County Courthouse, and other county buildings, remains on hold until that date.
