    On the heels of a similar order issued last week by KCMO Mayor Quinton Lucas, Jackson County Executive Frank White, Jr. on Wednesday issued a public health order requiring universal mask-wearing in indoor public places for those 5 and older, regardless of vaccination status. The health order aligns with recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Jackson County Health Department and is supported by Jackson County public school district superintendents and the region’s Chief Medical Officers. The public health order is in response to the rising number of COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations due, in part, to the highlycontagious Delta variant and our region’s low vaccination rates.
