Riley County officials hope to do more testing of people with COVID-19 symptoms. EMS Director David Adams said more testing is the goal of everyone. "That allows us a better understanding of the community spread and if there is widespread infection throughout the community."

Adams referred to the Kansas Department of Health & Environment to see the list of symptoms. "But yes, they have loosened the parameters for testing, just any two of a number of symptoms there."

There are currently 37 diagnosed cases of COVID-19 in Riley County.
