The City of Cheney was contacted by Sedgwick
County Health Department to set up a COVID-19 Mobile Testing Site.
On, Tuesday, August 4th, the Sedgwick County
Health Department's Mobile Outreach Team will provide walk-in/bike-in testing
opportunities from 8:30a-11:30a at the Cheney Fire Department Community Room
(525 N Main).
Other Mobile Testing Sites are available
July 27th at Bethany United Methodist Church in Wichita, July 30th at PIX
Community Center in Mulvane, and August 6th at Colwich Fire Department.
No appointment is necessary. MOR supports
the community by providing increased access to no-cost coronavirus testing for
Sedgwick County residents who have symptoms or who are contacts of known
COVID-19 positive people. In addition, people without symptoms can be tested if
they are first responders, healthcare workers (including home health and
long-term care), law enforcement, detention facility workers, Direct Support
Professionals, or if they work in residential group living facilities.
If you have special needs, please contact
the testing staff on your arrival. The SCHD will take a nasopharyngeal (nose)
swab and send it to a lab for COVID-19 testing. At this time, results are
returned from the Health Department in five to seven days. The results of the
virus test show whether a person has current infection. This is not an antibody
test.
Residents with symptoms should be tested.
Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus, and the most common
COVID-19 symptoms include:
Cough, Shortness of breath or difficulty
breathing, Fever, Chills or shivering, Muscle or Body aches, Headache, Sore throat,
New loss of taste or smell, Diarrhea, Fatigue or feeling more tired than
normal.
Social distancing, mask wearing and good
hand hygiene will help prevent the spread of the Coronavirus.

Tobacco Free Parks- Adopted June 14, 2018
Visiting your local playground or recreational field will now be a more enjoyable experience without cigarette butts littering the ground or the smell of tobacco smoke in the air. Young Lungs at Play! is an initiative promotiong tobacco-free and smoke-free public parks and playgrounds for young people. Young Lungs at Play! aims to eliminate children's exposure to secondhand smoke and vapors produced by electronic smoking devices at local public parks, playgrounds and playing fields by educating community service organizations, municipalities, school districts and county government agencies. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment promotes the Young Lungs at Play! initiative throughout Kansas communities to coordinate tobacco-free parks and playgrounds. The initiative also provides no-cost weather-resistant Young Lungs at Play! signs to be posted in those recreation areas.
Vinita 4H Club member, Cash Young, presented facts regarding tobacco use and second hand smoke to the Cheney City Council on June 14, 2018. Young stated, "1,500 Kansas kids under the age of 18 start smoking every year. Second hand smoke causes 41,000 deaths per year in the U.S." Outdoor tobacoo use has an environment impact as cigarette butts are one of the most littered items in the world and tobacco waste is costly to clean up and can poison our waterways, animals and people.
The Cheney City Council was receptive to Young's presentation and adopted Ordinance 908 prohibiting Tobacco-use in outdoor recreational areas owned, leased and operated by the City of Cheney on June 14th, 2018.
Free signs were acquired from KDHE and were hung in locations that are included in the tobacco ban.
