Southwest Airline to Add, Resume Flights from KCI

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Southwest  Airlines is adding and resuming more flights out of Kansas City International Airport as demand ticks upward since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic.  The Kansas City Star reports that some of the flights had previously been cut due to the pandemic and were being resumed; others are to new destinations, like Miami and Sarasota, Florida.  The announcement comes after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) just announced new guidelines for vaccinated people, saying that fully vaccinated people do not need to get COVID-19 tests before or after domestic travel, and do not need to self-quarantine after domestic travel.

Topeka Teen Creates COVID Rose Memorial at Capitol

TOPEKA, Kan.
