Missouri blows past its record in daily coronavirus cases two days in a row.
Another 1,301 positives were confirmed Wednesday, breaking Tuesday’s record by nearly 200. Officials pointed to a data entry backlog this month as one of the reasons for the high number. Another 16 Missourians have died from COVID-19, for a total of 1,159.
Boone County confirmed 28 new cases Wednesday, which is slightly higher than the rolling five-day average.
