TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - Dr. Lee Norman, the Kansas health director, is urging any Kansans who partied close to others at Missouri's Lake of the Ozarks during the Memorial Day weekend to voluntarily quarantine for 14 days.
Social media posts show large groups gathering in pools, bars and restaurants without social distancing or masks. Norman says their behavior could substantially set back the progress Kansas has made in slowing the spread of the coronavirus.
He says self-quarantining for 14 days would protect the partiers' families, coworkers and neighbors. Kansas City and St. Louis officials are urging residents who were at the lake to self-quarantine.
