TOPEKA, Kan. — Gov. Laura Kelly is giving Kansas counties an option when it comes to face masks: make their own order or adopt her new statewide protocols.

Kelly is issuing a new executive order that details what she believes should be “a standard for Kansas” on face mask protocols.

The Democratic governor already issued a statewide mask mandate in July, but state law allowed the 105 counties in Kansas to opt out — and most did. Now, under Kelly’s new order, she’s giving counties that still don’t have a policy on face masks another chance.

Leaders in these Kansas counties have one week to create their own face mask order. If they don’t, Kelly said, they will automatically be opted in to the protocols set in her new order.

It will take effect Nov. 25.
