Dear Licensees and Concerned Consumers,
The Board has received many inquiries from consumers and licensees concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19). Recently, several counties have issued “stay-at-home” orders. Each county that has issued an order has posted it on its website. Some of the counties have also posted “FAQs” that may clarify the effect of the orders on barber shops, barber schools, and consumers. Licensees and consumers should check their county websites daily concerning any county orders.
Some orders state that “non-essential” businesses must cease all activities at their places of business. Some counties have posted FAQs that indicate what businesses are affected by the order. The Governor issued an Executive Order on March 24, 2020 that lists business types that are essential in counties that have stay-at-home orders. You may read it here:

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have posted information on their websites to aid you in making an informed decision on the actions you should take. Links are provided below.

CDC Interim Guidance for Businesses and Employers
The Board is not authorized to close businesses in Kansas due to COVID-19. The decision to close businesses and suspend certain services may be ordered through other entities such as the county health departments, the Governor, the Legislature, Congress, or the President, so it is incumbent on the shop owner to keep informed of the daily developments. The Board cannot give legal advice concerning the interpretation of county stay-at-home orders or other orders. Shop owners should seek the legal advice of their own attorneys regarding the interpretation of orders, risk management, and decision-making.
We hope this information will be helpful to you.
We welcome your input, comments, and suggestions by survey, letter, email, phone, or fax.
