April 9, 2020

The Barry County Health Department reported the second confirmed case of COVID-19 in Barry County.
Administrator Roger Brock announced, “In an effort to keep the public safe and informed, we are releasing a
list of locations the COVID-19 positive individual has visited in Barry County.”
The individual and their close contacts are in quarantine and have been directed to avoid travel, except to seek medical care.
Barry County Emergency Management Director David Compton reiterated, “Quarantined people must not
come in contact with the public. Those individuals, if they fail to obey the quarantine, will place all close
contacts at a much higher risk of contracting COVID-19. We have notified emergency responders in the county of the quarantine to ensure their safety if responding to a known individual."
People visiting the following locations, who did not have close contact, are at low risk of contracting COVID-19, but
should monitor for symptoms. There is no need for self-quarantine or isolation. Anyone who develops
symptoms should call their primary care provider and follow their instructions. Symptoms of COVID-19
include fever, cough, and shortness of breath and may occur two days to two weeks after exposure.
It is out of an abundance of caution for the safety of Barry County residents that The Barry County Health
Department is notifying the public of these potential exposures from a COVID-19 positive individual.
Our recent positive case attended:
04/05 Mass at the Body of Christ church in Wheaton from 11a.m. to 12p.m.
04/06 Walmart in Cassville around 8:30 a.m.
04/06 Walmart in Monett around 3:00 p.m.
04/08 Dollar General in Wheaton between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m.
04/08 LNS foods in Wheaton between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m.
04/08 Fastrip in Wheaton between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m.
Administrator Brock, “This is an important reminder that we should all be staying at home as much as
possible.” When we do have to go out for essential tasks, we should be limiting our exposure to other
individuals and keeping a minimum of 6 feet of separation between ourselves and everyone else.
