There has been an increase in the number of positive cases in Kansas lately. This is due to two reasons; 1) A commercial laboratory that was not reporting positive cases to KDHE has been identified, and is now forwarding their information to KDHE for recording. There is also increased testing, specifically in case cluster areas.
