The White House Coronavirus Task Force is warning Missouri to close bars and mandate masks after labeling the state a “red zone” for cases.
Dan Fogarty-Hayden, a bar and restaurant owner in Missouri, says, “We would like to see our business to survive through this and some of the restrictions that are making that tougher and tougher.”
Missouri’s governor says 30% of new cases are among 18 to 24-year-olds.
More than 6.1 million Americans have contracted COVID-19 since the pandemic began.
