AG Schmidt: "One Size Fits All Approach" Doesn't Make Sense Regarding Covid-19 Restrictions in Kansas

 

Kansas Governor Laura Kelly's Phase 2 for reopening the state's economy officially begins on Friday.

 

The latest Covid-19 numbers from the KDHE show that seven counties in Kansas make up the current majority of the total cases. Some counties have barely been effected and 21 counties have yet to report a case.

 

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt says that we shouldn't have a one size fits all approach in dealing with the spread of the virus. 

 

Schmidt adds that regardless of where you live that you still need to be cautious and use good public health practices but why should a smaller, rural community have to suffer economic impact if they haven't been effected by the virus. 

 

There are currently nine counties in Kansas with 100 or more Covid-19 cases with four of those that have over 1,000 cases. Ford, Finney, Wyandotte and Leavenworth counties have over 1,000 cases and those 9 counties overall make up 89% of the confirmed statewide cases.
