(KAIR)--Although health officials have declared the coronavirus pandemic over, new cases continue to be diagnosed in local Kansas counties, with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment listing state locations as low, moderate, substantial, or high.

Those classifications are used to indicate locations by the number of cases, with those named as low having 10 or less cases per 100,000. Those in the moderate class have 10 to 49 cases per 100,000, substantial locations have 50 to 99 cases per 100,000, while those named as high have 100 cases or more per 100,000.

Locally, from April 25 to May 1, the KDHE places the counties of Doniphan, Jackson, and Pottawatomie in the moderate classification, with Doniphan and Jackson counties reporting 3 new cases each during the reporting period. Pottawatomie County reported 4 new cases.

Atchison, Brown, Jefferson and Leavenworth counties are placed in the substantial category.

Leavenworth County had the highest number of new cases during that time-frame, with 46 new cases reported. Jefferson County reported 16, Atchison County reported 10, and Brown County reported 5 new cases.

Nemaha is the lone, local county to be placed in the low category, with only one new case reported.
No portion of the local area is currently ranked in the high category.
