Leaders in Kansas City, St. Louis and even the state of Kansas are urging people
who partied close together at Lake of the Ozarks over the Memorial Day weekend
to self-quarantine for two weeks, amid fears that the gatherings documented in
social media postings will lead to a resurgence of the coronavirus. Big crowds
were reported at swimming pools, bars and restaurants at the popular central
Missouri lake that draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. Postings
showed people without masks partying and swimming together in close proximity.
St. Louis County Executive Sam Page asked the county’s health department to
issue a travel advisory.
