Kansas is seeing a downward trend in COVID-19 cases after a spike during the past few weeks, according to Gov. Laura Kelly.
Gov Kelly reported at a news conference Wednesday that Kansas was one of only three states seeing downward trends in COVID-19 cases, according to Johns Hopkins University data.
Kansas reported 4,539 new COVID-19 cases since Monday, with 100 new deaths, she said. There was a cumulative total of 252,041 cases and 3,355 deaths.
“The past 10 months have been a long and challenging road, but at this time case rates are going down in our state and vaccine distribution is ramping up,” Gov. Kelly said.
