Social Distancing in Sedgwick County, Kansas

Despite the city's wide-open spaces and sprawling design, signs like this one outside Sedgwick County's west Wichita extension office still laid out the necessary mitigation measures meant to slow COVID-19's transmission. This particular sign sat alongside the biking/jogging path that skirted by the county office, thus reinforcing both the urgent need for social distancing, as well as the ease with which the virus can spread from person-to-person.
