Today’s ongoing coverage of the coronavirus pandemic’s impact on Kansas:

• 7:08 p.m. Tuesday: Unprecedented financial disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic prompted salary reductions of 50% for nonessential employees at Stormont Vail Hospital and cuts of 10% to 35% for other staff members. "We need clinical team members to continue to step up during the anticipated influx of COVID-19 positive patients, as well as care for all other patient needs," said Robert Kenagy, president and chief executive officer of Stormont Vail Health.

• 4:38 p.m. Tuesday: Topeka Country Club and four GreatLife Golf and Fitness Courses resumed play on Monday, and on Thursday the three county-run courses will reopen for play. "As our courses reopen, our golf course staff will continue to employ best practices to offer golfers a safe way to get out and enjoy the outdoors, which is important to everyone during the stay at home order," parks and rec director Tim Laurent said in a news release.

• 4:16 p.m. Tuesday: Advisors Excel employees Angela Broxterman and Kevin Johnston are now selling those shirts for $23 apiece, plus shipping. All profits from T-shirt sales will go toward the HOST Relief Program fund.

• 2:01 p.m. Tuesday: This particular moment should not be used to hastily set aside our constitutional rights, argues Samuel G. MacRoberts, general counsel and litigation director for the Kansas Justice Institute. Any governmental action should use the least restrictive means available and be truly temporary.

• 1:49 p.m. Tuesday: Topeka Mayor Michelle De La Isla believes area residents are taking an overly "relaxed approach" to the coronavirus because it hasn’t yet infected large numbers of people in Shawnee County. "What we’re finding is that since we only have 14 or 16 cases compared to the rest of the country, I think there is the false expectation that we’re OK, that we’re going to be spared of this pandemic and that maybe some people are overreacting," De La Isla said.

• 12:56 p.m. Tuesday: Crawford County Mental Health Center in Pittsburg is implementing changes to keep clients and employees safe by using telehealth. "We’ve moved in the direction of using a lot more technology to reach our consumers and clients in order to mitigate the spread of the virus," said Michael Ehling, Crawford County Mental Health Executive Administrator.

• 12:16 p.m. Tuesday: April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, and this year’s theme of Strong and Thriving Families is especially compelling in the midst of the challenges facing our country, writes Rev. Robert N. Smith, dean, president and CEO of Saint Francis Ministries.

• 10:51 a.m. Tuesday: The volume of coronavirus-infected patients in Kansas is expected to peak in the final week of April and kill nearly 700 of the state’s residents during the next four months, a University of Washington report says. Lee Norman, secretary of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, said KDHE produced a set of predictions comparable in some ways with UW’s.
