Reno County moved back into its “Yellow alert status on Tuesday, as Kansas marked a year and a day of the COVID-19 pandemic being declared in the state.
That is the lowest active alert level on the county’s dashboard, indicating a “moderate to low number of cases, with most from a known source of exposure.”
Reno County Health officials, meanwhile, announced they have scheduled three more COVID-19 first-dose mass distribution clinics and three second-dose events over the next three weeks at the Hutchinson Sports Arena.
After that, officials tentatively projected, the county may be able to move into the next category of vaccine recipients under phase 2 of the state’s distribution guidelines, which would be people living in congregate settings and “critical workers in high-contact jobs.”
