Some state office buildings in Missouri will re-open to the public Monday as the stay-at-home order is lifted.  Those include buildings with 300 or more staff.

According to a news release from Governor Mike Parson’s office, each department will be responsible for deciding which offices to open based on their unique circumstances.

Social distancing guidelines will be enforced, and the Missouri National Guard will help screen employees and the public when they enter buildings. 

Approximately 40 percent of state employees have been working remotely due to COVID-19.
