Do you want to avoid further business shutdowns due to Covid-19?

Wear a mask. Practice social distancing. Avoid large groups of people. Wash your hands often. Don’t touch your face.

That’s the advice from the Centers for Disease Control and from Sedgwick County Health Officer Garold Minns.

Minns saw how Sedgwick County Coronavirus numbers continued to spike through October and into November. They are alarming: Positive tests nearing 25%; Hospitalizations at their highest levels; No ICU beds available.
