This incredible example of kindness and generosity is the epitome of what it means to be a Kansan. I am so proud to be the governor of this great state. https://t.co/ovrU2qeKyC

Starting July 3, I will issue an Executive Order requiring masks be worn in indoor public spaces, and at any outdoor gathering in which social distancing cannot be maintained. This step will keep Kansans healthy, and keep Kansas open for business. https://t.co/PrA33xRJeJ
Today the Kansas Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Legislative Coordinating Council (LCC) was not authorized to revoke Executive Order 20-18. https://t.co/BJhs8sZNT0 (1/4)
In Kansas, we are right in the heart of the most dangerous time of this crisis. Yesterday, we had a 40% increase in COVID-19-related fatalities from the day before. Now more than ever, it is absolutely imperative that Kansans stay home and practice social distancing. #SaferatHome
Every action I have taken throughout this pandemic has been in done with three things in mind: Keeping Kansans healthy, keeping our state open for business and getting our kids back to school. Those decisions have been guided by public health experts and science.
Today I announced that I will issue an executive order to delay opening schools until after the Labor Day holiday. The additional three weeks will provide schools time to get masks, thermometers, hand sanitizer and other necessary COVID-19 mitigation supplies.
What's in vogue? Wearing masks. Saving lives. https://t.co/U4BJqZNCRv

I know that abiding by the statewide stay-home order I issued this morning is difficult. But remember: Were in this together. Stay home. Stay safe. https://t.co/CBiImmMxYg
I can't in good conscience open schools when Kansas has numerous hot spots where cases are at an all-time high & continuing to rapidly rise. We cant risk the lives of our teachers, administrators, custodians, our students & their parents.
