TOPEKA, Kan. — Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly has launched public-service announcements about COVID-19.
The 30-second television spots that started Wednesday reflect officials’ fears that people who travel over the Fourth of July holiday will return with the fast-spreading delta variant. One 30-second television spot features Kelly and another features her and U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids, a fellow Democrat who represents the state’s portion of the Kansas City area in Congress.
Both tell viewers that the coronavirus pandemic is not over; the best protection is to get vaccinated, and people should wear masks and social distance if they aren’t inoculated. Kansas reported 283 delta variant cases as of Wednesday, up 27.5% since Monday.
