KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas will start reporting the locations of COVID-19 clusters this week.
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly said during a press briefing on Monday that the names and locations of active clusters will start being released on Wednesday.
Locations with five or more confirmed cases will be named. Private businesses with 20 or more cases "associated with a particular location" also will be released, according to Kelly.
"As we come off a holiday weekend, as our children return to school, as sports practices resume and students flood back to college campuses, I fear we will continue to see these large outbreaks," Kelly said.
Sharing the outbreak sites, according to Kelly, will keep Kansans "better informed about the threat of COVID-19 in their communities."
"We must continue to be diligent," Kelly said.
As of Monday morning, Kansas had reported more than 46,000 COVID-19 cases and 482 deaths, according to data compiled by 41 Action News.
