The number of coronavirus cases in Missouri is growing at a faster rate than most states.
Numbers from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention show over a seven day period from September 4-10, Missouri had the sixth highest number of new cases among all states.
State health officials say more than 102,000 Missourians have contracted the virus since the pandemic began, with 1,705 deaths.
The number of cases of COVID-19 is likely higher since many people with the illness go undiagnosed.
