There have been mixed emotions regarding the three phase plan that Kansas Governor Laura Kelly announced on Thursday night to help the state reopen its economy.

 

Some people have been pushing for the reopening for weeks while others believe we might be opening up to quickly.

 

Secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, Dr. Lee Norman says there are strengths to the plan but flexibility is key.

 

Dr. Norman spoke on Friday morning during the Covid-19 Media Update with the University of Kansas Health System.

 

The plan has been put in place by the Governor but a lot of it will be determined on a county by county basis because a problem for example in southeast Kansas shouldn't effect lighter areas in other parts of the state.

 

Chief Medical Officer with the University of Kansas Health System, Dr. Steve Stites says the shelter in place order allowed the state to prepare for this moment.
