The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has amended its Travel Quarantine list to no longer include travel to Aruba and to also remove mandatory quarantine following attendance at out-of-state mass gatherings of 500 or more, provided people wear masks and maintain social distancing (6 feet). Those who do not wear masks, or who do not maintain social distancing, as well as anyone notified by Public Health they are a close contact, still are mandated to quarantine.

Mass Gatherings are defined as any event or convening that brings together 500 or more persons in a single room or space at the same times, such as an auditorium, stadium, meeting hall, theater or any other confined indoor or outdoor space. This includes parades, fairs and festivals. It does not include typical office environments, schools, restaurants, factories or retail/grocery stores where large numbers of people are present but it is unusual for them to be within 6 feet of one another for more than 10 minutes.
