Representative Stephen Owen of Hesston has leaked what he says is the Governor’s plan for reopening the state.

Owen claims he received the documents from an anonymous source.  The documents were reportedly marked, “CONFIDENTIAL: NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION.”

In a post to Facebook, Owen says about leaking the documents ahead of the governor’s address that “Kansas deserves information as soon as its available. People’s livelihoods are at stake.”

Details from the document show

• The state will continue to limit mass gatherings to 10 people or less.
• Businesses will be allowed to re-open unless restricted by local government.
• They should maintain 6 feet of distance between customers and avoid any instances of groups of 10 or more where they are unable to maintain distance.
• Employers are still encouraged to have their employees work from home when possible. If on-site, employers should keep mass gatherings within the workplace to 10 people or less where social distancing protocols can be maintained.
• Employees who are sick are required to stay home and should be asked to call their healthcare provider.
• Non-essential travel is discouraged.
• High-risk individuals are advised to stay home except when it is essential to get out.
• The plan says visits to long-term care facilities and correctional facilities should remain prohibited, and those who work in the facilities “must adhere to strict protocols regarding hygiene and screening.”
• K-12 facilities remain subject to the executive order which limits the number of instructors, staff and students to ten or less.
• Licensed childcare facilities may continue to operate pursuant state and local instructions.

The governor will be addressing the plan to reopen the state at 6:30 this evening.
