Coronavirus in Missouri: Where are the positive COVID-19 cases?

At least 257,822 Missourians have tested positive for COVID-19 (coronavirus) and 3,507 people have died. 

Gov. Mike Parson declared a state of emergency and implemented a statewide stay at home order which has now been lifted. A national emergency was declared as well as the pandemic spread. 

The virus has been named “SARS-CoV-2” while the disease is called “coronavirus disease 2019,” or “COVID-19.” It can cause severe respiratory illnesses with symptoms such as fever, cough, and shortness of breath, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has warned.

A total of 257,822 cases have been confirmed by state officials with more than 2.8 million people having been tested. The first fatality was reported on March 18. Parson and the first lady tested positive for COVID-19 on Sept. 23.

For the week ending Nov. 16, the positivity rate over seven days was 23.7 percent by the CDC’s methodology. More than 2,400 people were hospitalized, including 582 who were in the ICU and 298 who needed ventilators. In all, more than 27,358 new cases were reported in that seven day period.
