JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) – Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Sunday evening said his
administration is strongly encouraging the cancellation or suspension of public
events with more than 50 people. Parson’s announcement followed federal health
officials’ recommendations that those events be halted in an attempt to slow the
spread of the coronavirus. Kansas City and St. Louis area officials said they
were banning events with more than 50 people for eight weeks following the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s recommendation. St. Louis area
leaders also recommended that all K-12 schools close at least by Wednesday until
further notice.
