WICHITA, Kan. — The Wichita mayor, City Council and several city staff members are in quarantine after a council member was recently diagnosed with the coronavirus.
Wichita Mayor Brandon Whipple and City Manager Robert Layton are among those in isolation for 14 days after Council Member Brandon Johnson tested positive for COVID-19 last week. Johnson told the Wichita Eagle that he had a cough Thursday that worsened Friday, so he went to be tested. He received the results Saturday morning.
Television station KAKE reports that City Council meetings will be held online until the council can meet in person, and City Hall will open on a limited basis over the coming days.
