Page To Announce New Restrictions To Help Keep The Coronavirus From Spreading
Alarmed about a growing number of coronavirus cases, St. Louis County Executive Sam Page on Monday will announce a new round of restrictions aimed at keeping the virus from spreading rapidly.
Since March, more than 42,000 people in Missouri have tested positive for the virus. In the bi-state St. Louis region, more than 25,000 have. The number of coronavirus cases in the St. Louis region is up by more than 27% since last week.
Page said in a statement Sunday that members of the St. Louis Metropolitan Pandemic Task and other health experts are concerned about the increase.
“New restrictions must be put in place to slow the community spread of this virus,” he said.
