KS Governor Laura Kelly
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas has banned public gatherings of 50 or more people for the next two months and blocked utilities from cutting off services until mid-April.
Gov. Laura Kelly warned Monday that the coronavirus pandemic may force additional restrictions to contain its spread. Kelly stopped short of ordering bars, restaurants, gyms or other businesses from closing, as governors in other states have done.
Her executive orders also came the same day that President Donald Trump's administration said people should avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 over the next 15 days.
Kansas has seen one COVID-19 related death and confirmed 11 coronavirus cases.
