Unfortunately, Lyon County is once again climbing the state list of overall cases per county in Kansas.
Lyon County Public Health lists 2,632 total cases since late March. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment’s number is 2,812 cases, meaning Lyon County is now 12th in cases per county. It had been 13th a week ago and as low as 15th. Lyon County is 17th in total population per county.
Based on stats from KDHE, Sedgwick County has passed Johnson County for most cases per county with almost 30,000. Johnson County has 29,300. Wyandotte County is the only other county above 10,000 cases with a little over 12,000.
