COVID-19 Summary: (Sara Wilton, Epidemiologist)
Recently the state of Missouri has transitioned from ‘pandemic to endemic’ regarding COVID-19 response and data collection. Therefore, some of the data previously reported will no longer be available on weekly reports. This includes vaccination data which is now only provided to local health departments monthly and negative COVID tests which are no longer reported to the state at all.
Because of the data collection changes at the state level, you will notice some differences in the weekly report. For example, the percentage of residents vaccinated is not available this week and the number of weekly cases that were vaccinated or unvaccinated will no longer be provided.
Currently, Jefferson County, MO is in the LOW COMMUNITY LEVEL (green). In the LOW level, the recommendations for individuals and households are:
Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines and boosters
Maintain improved ventilation throughout indoor spaces when possible
Follow CDC recommendations for isolation and quarantine, including getting tested if you are exposed to COVID-19 or have symptoms of COVID-19
If you are immunocompromised or high risk for severe disease
Have a plan for rapid testing if needed (e.g., having home tests or access to testing)
Talk to your healthcare provider about whether you are a candidate for treatments like oral antivirals, PrEP, and monoclonal antibodies
