Kansas Governor Laura Kelly says Kansas will limit mass gatherings to 10 people. She will issue an order which goes into effect Tuesday.

Kelly stopped short of issuing a “stay at home” order, instead leaving that up to individual counties. So far, eight counties in Eastern Kansas have issued “stay at home orders”. That means travel is restricted only for essential needs.
