By the Associated Press:
Kansas health officials say nearly a quarter of the state’s almost 29,000 coronavirus cases have been linked to cluster sites. That news comes as nearly a dozen school officials in one small southeast Kansas community find themselves infected or in quarantine after a recent leadership retreat in Branson.
The state Department of Health and Environment identified 360 outbreaks which have infected 7,710 people and led to 243 of the state’s 365 COVID-19 deaths.
The state’s clusters include 132 at private businesses, 95 at long-term care facilities and 54 from gatherings.
In Chanute, Kansas, 11 school administrators who attended the Branson retreat are in quarantine after six of them tested positive for the virus.
