2020-05-01Social 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.

This west Wichita, Kansas, church marquee sign reflects the state-mandated social distancing restrictions that went into effect on March 30, 2020; restrictions that prohibited large social gatherings, shuttered K-12 schools for the remainder of the spring, required 6-feet of space between individuals in public, and closed all non-essential businesses, such as retail stores and gyms.
