COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – Crowds are packing some bars and restaurants at the Lake
of the Ozarks despite a state social distancing order. Video posted on social
media shows a crammed pool over the holiday weekend where people lounged close
together without masks. Missouri’s statewide stay-at-home order expired earlier
this month, but an order from the state health director requires people to keep
at least 6 feet between each other until at least the end of May. It’s unclear
what steps Lake of the Ozarks-area health officials are taking to enforce that
order. Local law enforcement say they’re overwhelmed.
