Missouri health director Randall Williams on Thursday addressed Boone County’s second COVID-19 death, saying that it was his team that determined the death was related to the virus.

Boone County Public Health spokesperson Lucio Bitoy clarified information regarding the death as well, saying that the patient was admitted to a hospital for reasons unrelated to COVID-19.
