Here is Saturday's COVID-19 update from Saline County:
As of 5 pm, March 28th, 2020, Saline County does not have any residents that have a confirmed positive case of COVID-19. Just because no positive cases have been reported through our official channels, doesn’t mean that there isn’t a potential for a positive case to exist within our community. It is possible that a person hasn’t met the requirements for the testing set by KDHE and have been advised by their medical provider to self-quarantine. When a positive case is identified in Saline County, the Saline County Health Department will be the only official source to release that information.
On Saturday, March 28th, Governor Kelly issued a Statewide Stay-At-Home that takes priority over the Saline County Safer-At-Home order issued by the Saline County Health Officer. The Statewide order is in effect beginning 12:01 am, Monday, March 30th until April 19, 2020 unless extended or rescinded. The Saline County Safer-At-Home order would then go into effect on April 20th, 2020 unless sooner amended, superseded or rescinded.
A copy of the Governor’s Executive Order issuing the Statewide Stay-at-Home order and a copy of her Kansas Essential Functions are attached to this release. If there are any questions from our business community as to whether or not they are deemed essential or any activity is deemed essential, please email your questions to [email protected] .
