(KAIR)--Atchison County moves into the next phase of reopening, in conjunction with the latest state phase announced by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly this week.
Kelly on Tuesday announced that due to the current COVID-19 forecast, and timed with the Memorial Day holiday, the state would move into reopening phase 2 Friday, replacing the previously announced phase 1.5.
Atchison County health officials met Thursday with the Atchison County Commission to outline the County’s plan for phase 2.
Atchison County Health Officer Lori Forge highlighted the key changes between the two phases, including inside dining again being allowed.
Other changes between phase 1.5 and phase 2 include mass gatherings being restricted to 15 people or fewer, all businesses and activities, except bars, nightclubs, and swimming pools, will be allowed to open, including theaters, bowling alleys, and other leisure centers.
