Tuesday Marks New Health Order, Distancing Guidelines Amid COVID-19 Resurgence

The Boone County Health Department has issued a new health order that will begin Tuesday and last until July 20.

The new health order issued Thursday will begin the third step of the county’s current phase for reopening, according to a news release from the Columbia/Boone County Department of Public Health and Human Services.

While Boone County has seen a rise in COVID-19 cases, the Health Department says that all goals are being met to continue with reopening the county. The new order comes as Gov. Mike Parson this week lifted most state restrictions related to COVID-19.
