In a story that made international headlines, Ian Grillot spent six days at The University of Kansas Health System after being shot at a bar trying to save the life of a man who was targeted because of his race.

A bullet barely missed Ian’s carotid artery, and it led to a collapsed lung and a fractured vertebra. It also went through Ian’s hand and ended his career as a construction worker. The bullet is still in Ian’s body.

🎥 Freelance journalist spotlights tragedy in NW Kansas

TOPEKA (AP) —Shelter-in-place orders are about to take effect for about a third of Kansas' population to slow the spread of coronavirus, and Gov. Laura Kelly announced Monday that she will tighten restrictions on public gatherings.

Five counties with about 1 million of the state's 2.9 million residents were telling residents to stay home starting Tuesday, except for essential business, such as buying food or seeking medical care. They include Johnson County, which is the state's most populous county, three other neighboring counties in or touching the Kansas City area, and Douglas County, which is home to the main University of Kansas campus.

Kelly also said she would issue an executive order Tuesday to ban public gatherings of more than 10 people. Kelly last week banned gatherings of more than 50 people, but President Donald Trump's administration recommended the tougher restriction.

Kelly said she is not yet issuing a statewide shelter-in-place order as governors have done in some other states, including California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan and New York, because 89 of Kansas' 105 counties had yet to see a confirmed coronavirus case as of Monday morning. But she warned that such an order could become “unavoidable in the coming days.”

“Confirmed, positive cases are expected to tick upward at a rapid pace over the next 10 days,” Kelly said during a Statehouse news conference. “The crisis continues to evolve by the hour.”

Kansas has confirmed more than 80 cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus. That's an increase of at least 18 since Sunday. It has had two COVID-19-related deaths, one in Johnson County and the other in neighboring Wyandotte County in the Kansas City area.

For most people, the coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. But for some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness.

Dr. Lee Norman, the state's health secretary, said he expects Kansas to have between 300 and 400 confirmed cases by the end of March.

Norman said Friday that the state was close to running out of testing kits, which would force it to rely on private labs for testing. But he said the state obtained enough kits Saturday to test 700 patients, which should last into next week.

Besides Johnson County and Douglas County, which is home to the college town of Lawrence, shelter-in-place orders also take effect Tuesday in Wyandotte and Leavenworth counties in the Kansas City area, and Miami County to the south, where many residents work in Johnson County. All five orders will remain in effect until April 23.

Among those with the virus is someone who works at the Leavenworth VA Medical Center, officials said Monday. The VA Eastern Kansas Health Care System called the risk of transmission to other patients and staff low.

A sixth county, Doniphan County in the state's northeast corner, also was imposing a stay-at-home order starting Thursday and lasting through April 6.

Monday afternoon, Sedgwick County commissioners approved a stay-at-home order for Wichita, the state's largest city. The county's health director was expected to sign the order to begin Wednesday.
