Correction: Virus Outbreak-Kansas-Pushback story
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — In a March 19 story about a Kansas legislative resolution extending a state of emergency over the coronavirus, The Associated Press erroneously reported the length of the extension in the Kansas House's original version of the measure. It would have extended the state of emergency into January 2021, not January 2020.
