Leaders in St. Charles County said earlier this week that they plan to begin reopening the county when Missouri Gov. Parson lifts the statewide stay-at-home Missouri order on May 4.
"We have twice the problem the state as a whole has in terms of the number of cases per 10,000 people, but we have half the problem St. Louis City and St. Louis County have," said St. Charles County Executive Steve Ehlmann.
The first phase of Missouri’s plan to reopen on May 4 includes guidance for small and large businesses like retail and restaurants. Parson said local officials will be able to establish their own regulations and ordinances as long as they are consistent with the statewide order
When it comes to St. Louis County and the City of St. Louis, leaders have extended the stay-at-home orders until further notice.
