The state of Missouri reached peak hospitalization on April 7, at 1,242 cases.

As of April 25, the total number of hospitalizations was significantly reduced in every region of the state with the exception of the St. Louis region.
➡️Hospitalizations in the Kansas City region showed a 41% reduction

➡️Hospitalizations in the Central Region showed a 38% reduction
➡️Hospitalizations in the Northwest Region showed a 41% reduction

➡️Hospitalizations in the Northeast Region showed a 67% reduction

➡️Hospitalizations in the Southwest Region showed a 63% reduction
➡️Hospitalizations in the Southeast Region showed a 45% reduction

➡️Hospitalizations in the St. Louis region showed a slight increase (8% increase)
Again, these numbers represent the decrease in hospitalizations from Missouri’s peak on April 7 to April 25.

This is why we have to evaluate numbers locally and regionally, not just on a statewide scale.
As far as ventilators, we have more than 1,100 ventilators available across the state as of yesterday, and this does not include our state stockpile.

These are just some examples of the data we track and monitor EVERY DAY to make our decisions.
The overall trends in the data show that Missouri’s health care system is under control.

Our hospitals are NOT overwhelmed, and things are improving which is why we have made the decision to move forward and begin reopening Missouri on May 4.

On March 21, I ordered a STATEWIDE “social distancing” Order requiring social gatherings be no more than 10 people.

This is exactly where Missouri needed to be at that time.
As of today, out the 24,727 people that have been tested in Missouri’s total population of approximately 6 MILLION, there have been 2,113 positive cases of COVID-19.
Of the Missouri citizens who tested positive, approximately 22 percent have required hospitalization.

This means the remaining 78 percent are recovering at home or have already recovered.

Day in and day out, we are working around the clock to respond and adapt to COVID-19 in every way possible.

I am in CONSTANT communication with leaders and medical experts across the state on a daily basis.
As of 2:00 p.m. today, there have been 1,834 positive cases of COVID-19 in Missouri, including 19 deaths.

Like I’ve said, as more and more people are tested each day, these numbers will continue to rise.
Today, I signed our SIXTH Executive Order in response to COVID-19.

This EO suspends late penalties for concealed carry license renewals. This EO not only promotes public health and social distancing, but also frees up local law enforcement officers from administrative tasks.

As I said yesterday, COVID-19 is having a serious impact not only on public health, but also our economy.
Up until this point in my administration, we have been very fortunate to have a booming economy with record low unemployment & high wage growth.

Incomes have gone up, & taxes have gone down.
We have, at many times, had more jobs available than we have had people to fill them.
Last year, we were able to leave $100 million dollars on the bottom line in order to respond to any unexpected revenue declines.

We also proposed to do the same for next year, ensuring
another year of responsible state budgeting and savings.
