As of this morning (reported via Johns-Hopkins) two rural counties in Missouri are hotspots (and growing) for confirmed COVID-19 cases. Local news sources report a higher number of confirmed cases.
Moniteau, County:
Confirmed cases: 59
365.98 cases per 100,000 population
Saline County:
Confirmed cases: 96
419.31 cases per 100,000 population
There is a lag time in reporting to centralized sources from various local sources due to different deadlines. The numbers continue to change. They continue to go up.
Also reported via Johns Hopkins, for Missouri:
Cases in Missouri: 6,277
Total Deaths: 238
Fatality rate: 3.79%
Patients tested in Missouri: 58,156
10.79% of COVID-19 tests in Missouri have a positive result.
Stay Home. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. Good luck to us all.
