Parson extends Missouri's stay-at-home order

Posted online

Gov. Mike Parson yesterday announced the extension of the state's stay-at-home order amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Parson said the state is emphasizing the protection of health care workers and first responders, as well as the strategic reopening of businesses, in order to reopen the state.
