Chase County is telling its residents to stay home — and residents from other counties to stay away — as the COVID-19 situation continues to unfold.
On Saturday, Sheriff Rich Dorneker reminded residents of the county’s quarantine order if they have done non-essential travel to Douglas, Johnson, Sedgwick and Wyandotte counties since last Wednesday — or if they come to Chase County from those counties. The mandatory 14-day quarantine was issued in conjunction with the county’s stay-home order last week and also involves quarantine guidance from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
Separately, Chase County State Lake is now closed to the public after action by the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism. The closure is until further notice.
