Following is the Saline County COVID-19 update for Thursday.
The COVID-19 virus outbreak is an evolving situation across Saline County, Kansas, the United States, and the World. Our local government leaders continue to work hard and make difficult decisions as it relates to the best interests of the health and safety of our citizens and employees.
The Saline County Health Department has reported 4 positive cases of COVID-19 in county residents. Due to the rapidly changing situation, additional cases that we are notified of will be released in our daily press releases.
Saline County has launched an online form for individuals to submit complaints to the Health Department regarding alleged violations to the Statewide Stay-at-Home order: www.saline.org .
It has always been, and will continue to be the intention to ensure that businesses and individualsare voluntarily complying with the Statewide order.
The Statewide Stay-at-Home Order is in effect. This order outlines essential businesses and activities https://governor.kansas.gov/keff/ . Frequently asked questions are also listed on their site https://governor.kansas.gov/keff/ . The State of Kansas is working closely with our local entities to communicate and best determine essential business functions under the Governor’s orders.
Stay-at-Home simply means Stay at Home. If you are not performing essential tasks, then you need to be at home. “ Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.”
