Kansas Department of Health and Environment Secretary, Dr. Lee Norman, believes having the State identify and announce active clusters will combat spreading of the COVID 19 virus. They will start to identify them starting Wednesday. Dr. Norman says they kept from identifying clusters in the past because that is what local officials wanted:
Kansas is now the sixth highest State in the Country in terms of new cases per 100,000 people. As schools reopen, with football and volleyball games beginning, the State wants to get ahead of more cases. Active outbreaks include at least five active cases for schools, churches, businesses and organizations. Private businesses will have to have at least 20 active cases.
