• The University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation model revised its projections for the State of Missouri after taking into account new social distancing measures implemented by the state – mass gathering restrictions and initial business closures. The model, which previously projected Missouri’s peak being around April 25, now projects Missouri’s peak having been April 14 and 15, with a slow decline through May.
