The Ellis County Health Department announced early Wednesday morning that they will not enforce any resident or business restrictions regarding COVID-19. This is in wake of Gov. Kelly returning restriction control to Kansas counties earlier last week. According to the governor\u2019s executive order, this decision was made as a result of statewide unemployment and the current economy in Kansas.
