(KAIR)--The number of confirmed positive cases of COVID-19 grow both across Kansas and in the local area.
The latest figures were outlined Tuesday afternoon by Kansas Governor Laura Kelly during her now-daily news conference held in Topeka. “Currently, KDHE is reporting 9 deaths statewide, 428 positive cases throughout Kansas, and 39 counties have now reported at least one positive case,” Kelly said.
A Tuesday afternoon release from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment also shows the number of cases in local Kansas counties has grown to 30.
That comes as Leavenworth County now reports 24 cases, while 2 are confirmed in Pottawatomie County. The counties of Atchison, Doniphan, Jefferson, and Jackson remain with one case each.
