Notes

KCUR (Mar. 23, 2020): Johnson County order effective Tuesday Mar. 24, expires Apr. 24; gyms, dine-in restaurants and non-essential retail closed; gas stations, banks and essential services open; Wyandotte, Leavenworth, Douglas, Miami and Doniphan Counties issued parallel orders

Retrieval note

Order text not in the BOCC agenda system (the Mar. 21 emergency meeting file holds only the Core 4 release, a draft essential-activities list and the notice); the Board's Mar. 19 order recites the LHO's prior orders.
