Monday, February 28, 2022 at 3:59 PM

Missouri has seen a major drop in COVID cases as February comes to an end.

Less than two weeks ago, Missouri was on pace for a 71.2% drop in reported COVID-19 cases from January to February. On this final day of February, FOX 2 has counted a total of 51,380 confirmed COVID cases, a 79.9% drop from last month’s tally of 255,880 cases.

According to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS), the state has recorded 1,123,094 cumulative cases of SARS-CoV-2—an increase of 1,215 positive cases (PCR testing only)—and 15,247 total deaths as of Monday, Feb. 28, an increase of 12. That’s a case fatality rate of 1.36%.

It’s important to keep in mind that not all cases and deaths announced on a particular day occurred in the last 24 hours. The full story is on ozarksfirst.com.
