    TOPEKA, Kan. — Two northeastern Kansas counties are backing off mask mandates they imposed last month as coronavirus cases surged, and officials set up a clinic in an arena in the state’s largest city to vaccine thousands of health care workers.

    The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that county commissioners in Brown and Jackson counties argued that they had weathered a wave of infections and dropped mandates requiring people to wear masks.

    The Wichita Eagle reports that Sedgwick County set up a clinic in downtown Wichita’s Intrust Bank Arena to vaccinate 10,000 health care workers, including dentists, chiropractors, optometrists, and home-health and hospice workers.
