(KMZA)---The Nemaha County Commission has set a special meeting Thursday afternoon to discuss Governor's Kelly's order requiring most Kansans to wear a mask in a public space.
According to County Attorney Brad Lippert, Commissioners will consider issuing a less restrictive order, and will consult with Local Health Officer Jane Sunderland about the issue.
Governor Kelly's order is to take effect Friday, but counties can exempt themselves.
Lippert said the meeting will be held at 2:00 in the Commissioner’s meeting room at the Nemaha County Courthouse, and will be broadcast live on the Nemaha County Kansas Facebook page. Given time restraints, he said public comment will not be permitted.
