Health Department Warns Of Additional Potential COVID-19 Exposures

Springfield-Greene County Health Department

The Springfield-Greene County Health Department is warning the public of potential community exposures from three COVID-19 positive individuals. 

Before they were diagnosed, two of them visited IHOP, 3804 S. Glenstone, around noon on June 5 while symptomatic and not wearing masks.

And on June 6 COVID-19 positive individuals went to the Walmart Supercenter in Republic between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. They were symptomatic and unmasked.

Anyone at those locations at those times should watch for symptoms.

According to the health department, this is a reminder that anyone who is sick should stay home.
