Latest federal report shows only one Missouri county in the ‘red zone’

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Only one mid-Missouri county, Pettis, remains in the orange zone in Missouri's latest State Profile Report.

Formerly known as the White House Red Zone Report, it lists only one county in the entire state, Jasper, as being in that red zone.

The city of Sedalia also remains in the orange alert level on the report, with Pulaski and Saline counties both being listed as yellow counties.

Marshall and Ft. Leonard Wood round out mid-Missouri cities in the yellow zone.

Those cities and counties are the only ones in mid-Missouri under any level of alert, taking a big leap from where the state was this time last month.

The state is reporting 3,363 new COVID-19 cases or 55 per 100k, a 12 percent decrease from the previous report.

The positivity rate in Missouri is 5.7 percent, down 0.6 percent.

COVID-19 deaths remain in the red zone in Missouri, with the state reporting 205 new deaths, or 3.3 per 100k. That number, however, is a 22 percent drop from the previous report.

Only 5 percent of hospitals reported supply shortages, with Missouri admitting 565 patients into hospitals with confirmed COVID-19 cases.
