With no statewide stay home order, city and counties act

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - More Missouri cities and counties are ordering their residents to only leave their homes for essential tasks despite the lack of a statewide order.

Big cities and metropolitan areas, such as Kansas City and St. Louis, are already more than a week into ordering residents to stay home. But smaller counties with no or just a few coronavirus cases also are enacting orders.

Among them is St. Francois County, in the southeast portion of the state, whose stay-at-home order takes effect Friday, The Kansas City Star reports.
