Mayor Lyda Krewson reported at a press conference Wednesday the city’s second confirmed coronavirus case.
Krewson then announced that beginning Friday the city would ban social gatherings of more than 10 people to prevent the spread of the virus.
The measure follows recommendations by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as well as city Director of Health Fredrick Echols and local experts at BJC Health, Mercy Hospital South and SSM Health.
The St. Louis case involves a Washington University physician.
Washington University announced Wednesday that four people connected with the university had tested positive for the COVID-19 coronavirus.
