March 13: That's when Sedgwick County announced its first restriction on the size of public gatherings as a way to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

It was about a week before the county reported its first confirmed case of COVID-19, and almost two weeks before the county implemented its stay-at-home order.

This week on The Range, we look back at the last two-and-a-half months and reflect on some of the ways the coronavirus has changed our community — how we dine, how we shop for groceries, how we travel, how we create art, how we work out.

We also check in with the owner of Blue Moon Catering to see how his business has held up since we last spoke with him in March, and look at what's ahead for Sedgwick County now that the governor's phased reopening plan is being recommended — but not enforced.
