St. Louis City, County Issue 'Stay-At-Home' Mandate; State Orders 'Social Distancing'

[Sherman A1]

St. Louis and St. Louis County residents will be under mandatory stay-at-home restrictions beginning Monday.

Meanwhile, Gov. Mike Parson said the state would take a different approach, announcing new social distancing measures to limit interactions in Missouri.

St. Louis County Executive Sam Page and Mayor Lyda Krewson announced the stay-at-home order on Saturday. The new restrictions, which require people to remain in their homes whenever possible, are part of an ongoing effort to slow the spread of the new coronavirus. The order will remain in effect for 30 days.

“It was an extremely difficult decision that we did not take lightly,” Krewson said during a Saturday press conference, calling the order an “unprecedented response.”

Now, if only the "charming" elected government of the State would do the same.......

1. I think Portland (Oregon) will do the same

Tri- county mayors are pushing for a shelter-in-place while the governor just wants us to distance ourselves. I think the mayors will react tomorrow. They seem to be trying to force a statewide order.
