KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Missouri has again broken its own record for the
highest single-day increase in reported coronavirus cases. The health department
on Tuesday reported another 1,138 cases, breaking a record set Saturday. So far,
the state has reported 34,762 cases. The state’s health department director has
said cases among young people are driving the surge. Kansas City’s mayor now is
urging local K-12 schools to wait until after Labor Day to reopen. The Kansas
City Star reports Mayor Quinton Lucas on Tuesday said he doesn’t need to issue
an order because almost all Kansas City schools have acted responsibility during
the pandemic.
