Last updated March 30, 2020

On Saturday, March 28, Governor Laura Kelly issued a stay-at-home order for all of Kansas. Executive Order No. 20-16 goes into effect at 12:01 a.m. on March 30 and supersedes Johnson County’s stay-at-home order that went into effect March 24. Currently the Governor’s order is set to expire on April 19, and if that remains the case, the county’s order, which when established was set to expire at 12:01 a.m. on April 23, would go back into effect.
 
The state is compiling a list of questions and answers to provide more clarity on its order. We will post a link to them as soon as they are made available. Questions on the state’s stay-at-home order can be emailed to KEFF@ks.gov.

Examples of essential businesses and services that will remain open during this time period include critical government services, infrastructure projects, childcare, healthcare, grocery stores, pharmacies, and delivery/carry-out/drive-through services from restaurants.
