In order to “Build on Missouri’s efforts to control, contain, and combat COVID-19,” Missouri Governor Mike Parson issued a statewide “Stay Home Missouri” Order in his most recent press conference on Friday, April 3, 2020.
The order, effective beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, April 6, 2020, until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, April 24, 2020, states that individuals currently residing within the state of Missouri should avoid leaving their homes or places of residence unless necessary.
First and foremost, I want everyone to know that I love this state and the people of this state. The people of this great state clearly define who we are in Missouri, and as Governor, I have no greater responsibility than to protect the health, well-being, and safety of all Missourians. This is not about any one individual person. This is about our families, friends, neighbors, and the entire state of Missouri. For the sake of all Missourians, be smart, be responsible, and stay home, Missourians.
In order to protect public health and prevent the further spread of COVID-19, Governor Parson’s Order includes specific guidance for staying home, social distancing, businesses and employees, schools, restaurants, firearm sales, and state government buildings.
