As a former Emergency Management Director I know first hand how valuable access to information and resources can be during times of crisis. I've built this site as a way to ensure people in southeast Missouri are getting the most accurate, up to date information in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please use our submission form if you have additional questions or need assistance. -Representative Jeff Shawan
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has listed the following guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus:
Regularly wash your hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water.
Avoid close contact with the sick, vulnerable, and strangers. Keep a distance of 6 feet from others when possible.
Clean and disinfect regularly touched surfaces daily (counter tops, doorknobs, toilets, sinks, phones, light switches, etc.). Use common EPA-registered household disinfectants.
If you are sick please:
Remain home and away from others (except for medical attention).
Cover your coughs and sneezes with your elbow or a tissue.
Wash your hands after coughing or sneezing.
Wear a facemask if interacting with others.
