Today at noon, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas will hold a press conference to announce and provide further details on the extension of his Stay-at-Home Order t...o Friday, May 15. This Order was previously scheduled to expire next Friday, April 24. Yesterday, public health officers and directors in the nine-county Kansas City metroincluding the City of Kansas City, Mo., Health Department Director Dr. Rex Archerissued a recommendation to extend local stay-at-home orders through May 15 to slow the spread of #COVID19. The recommendation is based on estimates of the anticipated peak of infection in the Kansas City metro at the end of April, the need to have infrastructure and staff in place to monitor new cases as they arise thereafter, and the importance of a joint policy to prevent increasing the spread the virus between different counties and municipalities in the metro. It’s important that we look at the data on the virus and react accordingly, said Dr. Rex Archer, director of the Kansas City, Missouri, Health Department. We believe this timeline is what is best for the region to keep people safe. Coordinated regional efforts are underway to ease restrictions as soon as it is safe to do so. The peak infection date in the metropolitan area may vary from statewide peaks in #Kansas and #Missouri.

As we all adjust our behavior in light of the #COVID19 threat, the nation’s critical #infrastructure is more visible than ever. There are some functions that ar...e critical to our way of life and the men and women who carry out these functions ensure our nation’s resilience to #coronavirus. What are these critical functions? Medical/Health, Communications, IT, Food, Transportation & Logistics, Energy, Water & Wastewater, Law Enforcement, Public Works, some gov’t Ops, Hazmat, Essential Financial Services. Our nation depends on these functions daily and that’s why it is paramount that the people carrying out these roles are able to safely continue working. We recently released a guide for state & local jurisdictions and the private sector to help them manage their workforce: cisa.gov/identifying-critical-infrastructure-during-covid-19
