Building on Missouri’s efforts to control, contain, and combat COVID-19, we issued a statewide “Stay Home Missouri” Order effective beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, April 6, 2020, until 11:59 p.m. on Friday, April 24, 2020.
The Order explicitly states that individuals currently residing within the state of Missouri shall avoid leaving their homes or places of residence unless necessary.
First and foremost, I want everyone to know that I love this state and the people of this state. The people of this great state clearly define who we are in Missouri, and as Governor, I have no greater responsibility than to protect the health, well-being, and safety of all Missourians.
This is not about any one individual person. This is about our families, friends, neighbors, and the entire state of Missouri.
For the sake of all Missourians, be smart, be responsible, and stay home, Missourians.
