Missouri House Speaker Elijah Haahr announced the creation of the Special Committee on Disease Control and Prevention.
The committee will host a public forum for the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) to share their response to the coronavirus with Dr. Williams, director of DHSS, on Monday, March 2 at 1:30 p.m. in House Hearing Room 5 in the Missouri State Capitol building.
“Dr. Randall Williams has briefed my office on the state’s preventive measures and response plan to protect Missourians’ health,” Haahr said. “I believe Missourians deserve to know the steps that have been taken and the proactive approach Dr. Williams and DHSS are utilizing to combat the coronavirus in our state.”
Recently, a top federal official at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned that the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S. appears to be inevitable. The official’s comment comes as the pandemic continues to spread to more countries.
Members of the committee include Rep. Jon Patterson, R-Lee's Summit (chairman); Rep. Steve Helms, R-Springfield (vice chairman); Rep. Jim Neely, R-Cameron; Rep. Tom Hannegan, R-St. Charles; Rep. Kathy Swan, R-Cape Girardeau; Rep. Holly Rehder, R-Sikeston, Rep. Lane Roberts, R-Joplin; Rep. Ashley Bland Manlove, D-Kansas City; Rep. Yolanda Young, D-Kansas City; Rep. Rasheen Aldridge, D-St. Louis; and Rep. Kip Kendrick, D-Columbia.
