Kansas' number of COVID-19 cases holding steady

Kansas reported 1,441 new cases of coronavirus in the week ending Sunday, from 1,469 the week before of the virus that causes COVID-19.

Kansas ranked 46th among the states where coronavirus was spreading the fastest on a per-person basis, a USA TODAY Network analysis of Johns Hopkins University data shows. In the latest week the United States added 442,981 reported cases of coronavirus, an increase of 0.1% from the week before.

Across the country, 25 states had more cases in the latest week than they did in the week before.

Many states didn't report cases on Easter. That will make some state-to-state comparisons inaccurate and also some in-state week-to-week comparisons inaccurate.

Within Kansas, the worst weekly outbreaks on a per-person basis were in Graham, Bourbon and Woodson counties. Adding the most new cases overall were Johnson County, with 385 cases; Sedgwick County, with 213 cases; and Shawnee County, with 147.

Weekly case counts rose in 31 counties from the previous week. The worst increases from the prior week's pace were in Wyandotte, Johnson and Sedgwick counties.
