With the City of Dodge City removing the mask mandate for the city on Jan. 19, all eyes will be on the COVID-19 case numbers for Ford County moving forward.
City officials said if the number of cases go back on the rise, a mask mandate may be reimplemented.
On Friday, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment reported 11 new cases of COVID-19 with a case rate of 161.3 per 1,000 people in Ford County, which continues to see declining numbers that led to the rescinding the city mask mandate.
There were 57 new tests conducted with a testing rate of 463.9 per 1,000 people.
