Jasper County reports 50 COVID-19 cases between Saturday and Monday, 226 more cases than state website shows

The surge in COVID-19 cases in Jasper County continues as the Jasper County Health Department, in a terse one line Facebook post Monday night reported 50 cases had been confirmed since its last announcement on Saturday.

"As of June 29, 2020, the current Jasper County COVID-19 cases stand at 582," was the entirety of the statement."

The statement contained no information about where cases are taking place guidelines about measures county residents should be taking, though in recent news releases, it has been noted that the Carthage area has been hard hit.








The Jasper County statistics do not include the city of Joplin.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services reported Monday that Jasper County is now in the top 10 counties as far as the number of confirmed coronavirus cases is concerned.

Jasper County's total of 582 is 226 more than what the state dashboard shows.
