Missouri Gov. Mike Parson has chosen a Florissant hotel for Missouri’s first alternative medical site for patients suffering from mild COVID-19 symptoms.
He said other sites are looking being looked at across the state for similar facilities.
“Our hospitals and medical professionals are working tirelessly to meet the needs of Missourians infected with COVID-19,” Parson said yesterday. “This alternate care site, which will include medical staffing from the Missouri National Guard and SEMA’s Disaster Medical Assistance Team (MO DMAT-1), can significantly increase their capacity by freeing up hospital beds for patients with more acute medical needs.”
The Missouri National Guard will start construction at the hotel over the weekend.
The latest data by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services has identified 3,327 COVID-19 cases in the state and 58 deaths. Parson said there have been 34,000 tests administered in the state.
