There's another positive in Chanute, Ks. A girl flew back from Germany, arriving this past Saturday. This girl's mom is an RN at the local hospital, the father a city employee. They didn't heed the quarantine notification as the daughter was fine Saturday. Developed flu like symptoms by Monday, tested positive Tuesday.

In the meantime, mom went to work as usual, so did the father. The daughter had been out and about in town Sunday and Monday.

Supposedly all are in quarantine at this time, at their home.

HIPPA be damned, the whole town knows who it is.

Looks like a nursing home in Coffey county has a few patients testing positive. And a confirmed positive in Greenwood too.
