The Kansas Department of Health and Environment announced the release of the Kansas COVID County Rankings Report. The report is designed to help county commissioners and local leaders stop the spread of COVID-19 in their communities by tracking critical metrics including testing, case and vaccination rates.

Three metrics are reported and ranked across each county:

• Full series vaccination rate of eligible population (12+ year olds)
• 7-day daily average number of COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people
• 7-day daily average number of COVID-19 tests administered per 100,000 people

Each county’s rankings are added together to generate a total score for the county. The total scores for counties are then ranked from 1 to 105.

The report will be refreshed three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and can be found on the KDHE’s website here. Data for the report is provided by the CDC and KDHE.

Sedgwick County is currently ranked 15.
