As the St. Louis area begins to reopen more broadly after the coronavirus shutdown, new concerns are being raised about a rise in new cases in Kansas City.
St. Louis city and county have been under stricter guidelines because the area has seen the worst of the impact in Missouri of COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus.

But in Kansas City, KCUR reported that the rate of new cases has increased every week since May 10.
