Childcare restrictions have been removed, effective Monday, by the Riley County Health Department's latest order. Julie Gibbs, Health Officer, said with more business being able to open they need more openings for daycares. "We had previously limited them to just 10 in a daycare, or 10 in a stable group in a center. We're now removing that limitation. "
Gibbs said daycare or child care providers are still being encouraged to continue to take temperatures and do a screening. "Many of them are already doing that before we even put an order in so we're still strongly encouraging that but we are removing the limitation of the amount of kids in one group."
The order followed the release of the Phase 1.5 Covid-19 guidelines by Governor Kelly last week.
