“This doesn’t change where you can go or what you can do. It just means if you’re around other people, you must wear a mask.”

Kelly said enforcement should occur at the local level, and she encouraged city and county officials to take the order seriously.

“As cases continue to rise, masks are the best defense to keep Kansans at work, to get our kids back to school and to keep ourselves and our neighbors healthy,” Kelly said.

“COVID-19 is still in our communities,” Kelly said. “It is still spreading.”

She said mask wearing is necessary to avoid another shutdown of the state’s economy.

“When we look at where we are seeing clusters of cases, we are not seeing them in businesses where masks are worn,” Kelly said. “We have no clusters attributed to barber shops, hair salons or dental offices. However, we are seeing a significant increase in clusters related to gatherings where masks are not being worn.”

Yeah, I know what she said but thanks anyway
