Periodically there have been large jumps in county cases. While some of that is due to increased disease spread, some of those increases are also the result of corrections to the reported numbers. Due to data delays and issues with the state’s reporting system, occasionally lump-sum additions of historical cases have to be made to the county’s running total. This has caused inflated daily increases on 10/23, 10/30, 11/6, 11/18, 12/23, 12/28, and 2/5/2021.
On 1/6/2021, the county reported a 10-count increase in COVID-19 fatalities. While reconciling data with KDHE, the county Health Department found that the state had stopped notifying them of local deaths. This increase represented a data correction to add in deaths that had occurred over an extended time period -- it did not represent 10 new deaths since the previous reporting period.

County Alerts and Closures
- Access to the Historic Courthouse will be through the west doors only. County staff will be monitoring the number of people entering, exiting and waiting in seating areas. They will be helping to ensure that safe social distancing can be maintained.
- Citizens visiting either of the two Motor Vehicle locations will be asked to check in using the QLess line management system -- this can either be completed online ahead of time or using a computer terminal on site. As space allows, patrons will be able to wait in designated seating areas. If seating becomes tight, some patrons may be encouraged to leave and return closer to their time to be served.
