Potential legislature closing
Kansas 22nd District Senator Tom Hawk spoke to KMAN Friday about the possibility of the Kansas legislature closing down in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.
He says this step may be taken to prevent the gathering of large groups.
Hawk says they have prepared their budget in case a shut down does happen.
Kansas Governor Laura Kelly recently announced restrictions on who is allowed in the Kansas State Capitol building.
COVID-19 testing supplies
Hawk also talked to KMAN about the supply of COVID-19 testing supplies in Kansas, saying he is frustrated with the federal government’s approach.
However, Hawk says he has received reassurance from the state-level officials.
