Saline County has issued a statement concerning re-opening the county. It is as follows.
Governor Kelly released her framework for re-opening Kansas after the Statewide Stay-at-Home order ends at midnight on May 3rd. Saline County is appreciative of all the efforts that went into the creation of this guidance.
At this time, the Saline County Health Officer does not plan on adding additional restrictions above and beyond the recommendations set forth by the Governor. We will continue to monitor the situation closely. We will continue to support increased testing capabilities and robust contact tracing.
The Governor’s framework can be found at www.covid.ks.gov. Business and Industry partners are directed to review the framework and strongly encouraged to follow industry standards. Specific guidance and information from the business sectors are listed towards the bottom of the webpage.
“We know that this has been a challenging time for businesses and the public alike but we are grateful for the cooperation and the commitment to stay the course until we can all ‘Phase Out’ safely,” said Jason Tiller, Saline County Health Officer.
We will continue to do all that we can to avoid any setbacks during this reopening process. Here are some things that you can do to help:
• Stay home if you’re sick.
• Wear masks in public settings.
• Maximize physical distances (6 ft or more) in public settings.
• Avoid socializing with large groups.
• High-risk individuals should only leave the house for essential needs.
• Minimize nonessential travel.
• Wash your hands frequently.
