Missouri ranks in top five for its rate of new COVID-19 cases

September 7, 2020 By Alisa Nelson

The Washington Post reports Missouri ranks fifth among all U.S. states for its per capita rate of daily COVID-19 cases over the past week. The state reports 23 new cases per every 100,000 people.

Missouri in top five for its rate of new COVID-19 cases

Livingston County in northwest Missouri ranks in the top ten U.S. counties reporting the highest rate of cases. The state’s COVID-19 dashboard shows the county has had 338 cases since March.

The state’s first case of COVID-19 was announced six months ago. Since then, Missouri has reported more than 93,000 cases and at least 1,658 coronavirus-related deaths.

On Saturday, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services reported 77 new deaths – most of which happened in June, July and August. The department said analysts discovered an inconsistency between the coding of death certificate diagnoses and the agency’s updated virus system tracking.
