Springfield-Greene County Health Department notes potential COVID-19 exposure at Walgreens, case count up to 288

(From the Springfield-Greene County Health Department)

The Springfield-Greene County Health Department is notifying the public of a potential community exposure from one COVID-19 positive individual from another jurisdiction.

Prior to being diagnosed, the individual went to the following location:

Monday, June 22: Visited Walgreens at 2640 E Sunshine around 5:30 p.m.
(infectious and symptomatic, masked)








Anyone who was at this location on this date is at low risk for contracting COVID-19, but should monitor for symptoms. There is no need to self-quarantine or isolate unless symptoms develop.

This latest case is yet another reminder for all of us to interact with our environment carefully. When we go out in public, we need to practice physical distancing and wear a mask whenever possible. If someone is sick or thinks they may be sick, they need to stay home.

A timeline of all known potential community exposures in the last 14 days is available here.

Nine new positive COVID-19 cases were reported by the Health Department today, bringing the total number of laboratory confirmed cases to 288.
