The Iola Municipal Pool will remain closed until after the July 13 Iola City Council meeting.
The city has implemented several changes for public events in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and Gov. Laura Kelly’s executive order requiring face masks for people when out in public.
City Hall will remain closed to the public, with the exception of Iola Municipal Court sessions. Those in attendance must wear face masks.
The community buildings also will remain closed to the public.
The mask mandate is for all indoor public events, and for outdoor events in which participants cannot practice social distancing; i.e. by maintaining a 6-foot perimeter from others.
IN A RELATED matter, the Kansas Supreme Court issued an administrative order Friday requiring district and appellate courts to comply with the governor’s face mask order, even if their respective counties opt out of the mandate.
That means all attendees must wear protective masks during all district and magistrate court sessions.
KANSAS has released a list of travel restrictions from the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, South Carolina and Florida.
Those who travel to these states are asked to quarantine for 14 days from the day they arrive back in Kansas.
