(KAIR)--Atchison County residents will be required to wear masks when Kansas Governor Laura Kelly’s mandate takes effect Friday.
That’s follows action, or a lack thereof, taken during Tuesday’s meeting of the Atchison County Commission.
Following discussion on the state requirement, Commissioner Eric Noll made a motion to to not follow the state. However, the motion died due to a lack of a second, keeping the state’s mandate in place.
