Due to a recent rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in Wyandotte County, officials with the Unified Government Public Health Department (UGPHD) announced today that the County will remain in the Phase 3 of the Ad Astra reopening plan through at least July 6, 2020.

“The numbers show that COVID-19 continues to be a threat in our community, and as we have begun reopening our businesses and our communities, it has begun to spread, although slowly, once again,” said Dr. Allen Greiner, Chief Medical Officer with the UGPHD. “Out of an abundance of caution, we will remain in Phase 3 of our reopening plan, with some additional modifications and guidance.”

On June 16, UGPHD officials announced that COVID-19 cases were on the rise in Wyandotte County.
