Important Update: Due to a technical difficulty identified and corrected yesterday, results from one commercial lab performing tests for Missourians were not submitted from April 16-22.
So many of the cases identified as “new” today were actually tested and diagnosed during those dates, so today’s increase in totals is not due to a spike in new cases being identified within the past 24 to 48 hours.
Additionally, there was a delay in the reporting of a number of deaths from a jurisdiction into the Missouri tracking system. So, in addition to the past 24 hours, the increase today covers some deaths that occurred from April 12-22.
COVID-19 update for April 24: 6,625 positive patients. We are saddened to report we have lost 262 Missourians to COVID-19.To learn more about Missouri’s COVID-19 response and statistics, visit http://Health.Mo.Gov/coronavirus .
