St. Louis County, City Reopen Restaurants, With Restrictions

The gradual reopening of Missouri's economy continues but officials are urging residents to keep following safety guidelines to further slow the spread of the coronavirus.

Restaurants and other nonessential businesses are reopening Monday in St. Louis County and the city of St.Louis, which had imposed stricter guidelines than Gov. Mike Parson's statewide order. County Executive Sam Page says the success of the reopening will depend on residents' willingness to follow restrictions, such as social distancing.

Campgrounds and most high-traffic areas in the state's parks have also reopened, but reservations are required and some sites are limiting occupancy.
