Kansas City, St. Louis County Town Move Up Reopening Dates

Missouri’s largest city will reopen with significant restrictions next week, as jurisdictions in the state’s two urban areas begin to move away from stay-at-home orders spurred by the coronavirus.

Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas announced today that starting May 6, businesses and religious gatherings may resume but under rules limiting crowd sizes and possibly requiring names and contact information of those in attendance be recorded.

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson’s stay-at-home order ends Sunday, but Kansas City, Jackson County, St. Louis and St. Louis County previously announced plans to extend their orders through at least mid-May.
