Camden County Health Department reported Friday that a person from Boone County who had attended the parties tested positive for the virus. The pictures and video of crowds at the lake prompted a public outcry and lead health officials to urge anyone who attended the parties to self-quarantine for 14 days. For some infected people, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, the virus can cause severe illness or death. Missouri on Wednesday reported 192 additional positive cases, bringing the state's total to nearly 13,800, and three additional deaths, increasing the toll to 786.
