With Missouri averaging more than 3,100 new cases of COVID-19 per day in the last week, lawmakers want to know how state health leaders are responding.
Department of Health and Senior Services Director Dr. Randall Williams will testify on Tuesday before a special House committee on disease control and prevention.
The chair of that committee, Dr. Jon Patterson, R-Lee’s Summit, wants to hear an update on the response to the virus, saying it has to be bipartisan.
Missouri has nearly 210,000 cases of the coronavirus since the pandemic began, with 3,153 deaths.
