HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Commissioner Ron Sellers wants to see just a few more shots completed before he's ready to change the county's mask ordinance.
"Hospitalizations are way, way down," Sellers said. "Cases are down. We're getting to the point that more and more people are vaccinated. I feel like, personally, when we get our essential workers vaccinated, which is the group that they're working on at this present time, we'll probably be in a position to lift the mask ordinance."
Sellers recognizes he's not the only one making the decision, though.
"My fellow commissioners are probably wanting it lifted a couple weeks earlier than I would vote for," Sellers said. "At our county commission, there's three commissioners and it takes two votes. If you have two votes, that's what's probably going to happen."
The commission will take up the issue March 30.
