March 24, 2020 - Per St. Louis County, "We should not take solace in the fact that only seven new cases are being reported today. The manner in which the numbers will be reported moving forward is changing to streamline the process. The practice will bring local health departments to a consistent level of the timing and reporting of the numbers. Today, 3/24/2020, should be the first and only day this issue occurs."
March 23, 2020 - There are testing facilities located in North, South, West, and Central St. Louis County. Please know that DPH will work with testing partners to ensure that testing services are available to the uninsured and will further work to address potential cost barriers to such services. While St. Louis County is unable to disclose the specific locations of those sites due to the facilities being privately run, the St. Louis County COVID-19 hotline is available countywide to everyone and anyone. Anyone experiencing symptoms such as fever, shortness of breath, and coughing, should be encouraged to call our hotline at (314) 615-2660.

- Create a contact list with phone numbers of neighbors, schools, and employers.
- Set up online shopping accounts if possible.
- Plan ahead and think about what you will need in order to stay at home for an extended period of time. Think ahead and plan how you will keep enough food and medications in your home during this period.
- Have supplies on hand.
- Buy only as much as you need to avoid frequent shopping trips. It is not necessary to buy in bulk Stores that are selling necessary items like grocery stores, pharmacies, gas stations, and hardware stores will remain open but we encourage residents to shop less often in order to spend less time in public. Supplies should include:
- Non-perishable food
- First aid kit including thermometer
- Medications (over the counter and prescription)
- Toilet paper and other personal hygiene items
- Cleaning supplies (antibacterial soap, hand sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, etc.)
