St. Louis County officials issued a travel advisory, citing crowds at Lake of the Ozarks that "flouted" efforts to halt the spread of coronavirus.
Images of a jampacked pool party at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri over the Memorial Day weekend prompted St. Louis County to issue a travel advisory and the Kansas City health director to call for self-quarantine of the revelers.
The health department expressed concern in its travel advisory that people from the St. Louis area were at Lake of the Ozarks over the weekend."Any person who has travelled and engaged in this behavior should self-quarantine for 14 days or until they receive a negative test result for COVID-19," the advisory said.
"If you're worried about getting sick, obviously, or you want to distance yourself, it's pretty much to each their own," Akins said.Camden County Sheriff Tony Helms said in a statement Monday that it was a"record weekend" at Lake of the Ozarks but that a lack of social distancing is not a crime and that his department had no authority to enforce it. Public health violations are up to health authorities, he said.
