 Retirement Announcement 
 
     In February 1994, I was hired as the nurse administrator of the Cooper County Nursing Service located on the first floor of the courthouse in 900 square feet of office space. Our patient waiting room was the public courthouse hallway with four wooden benches. Patients had to carry their lab specimens from the public bathrooms across the hallway and into the two-room office. The juvenile office is now located in our old office space. 
     In 2006, by the vote of citizens who supported public health we were able to pass a tax levy. A five -member health board was appointed, and the work began to transition in the fall of 2006. In 2007, we separated from the County of Cooper and became our own political subdivision. In the fall of 2010, we moved to our third and current location in the Village of Windsor. This new location was designed around patient privacy, accessibility, and a safe working space for the employees.   
     I would like share that it has been an honor to serve Cooper County and work side by side with public health coworkers, board of trustees, citizens, and community partners. My tenure will end March 31, 2023. Thank you very much. 
 
Sincerely, 
Melanie J. Hutton RN, MSN

Local Public Health Alert

The Cooper County Public Health Center has received reports of two residential wells that have tested positive for elevated rates of nitrates during the month of December 2022. Consumption of water with elevated nitrate levels have been known to cause physical harm to humans and animals. The source for nitrate has not been identified on the well site, however both residences are in rural, heavily farmed row-crop areas. The residential well on the east side of the county had a result of 11mg/L. The residential well on the west side of the county result was 9.7mg/L. The safe drinking limit for nitrates in well water is 10mg/L, any results above the established safety of 10mg/L have resulted in negative health effects and harm.

During times of drought and then heavy rains nitrate poisoning in water may occur. Due to the recent weather patterns, we strongly encourage all well owners to seek testing regardless of their location.  Free testing by appointment is provided by the Cooper County Public Health Center. Please call 660-882-2626 and ask for Randy Strough or Jesse Devillier. Private water testing is another option at the owner’s expense. The health center does NOT maintain a list of private water testing services.

Educational resources are available to learn more about nitrates and water safety are listed below.

Center of Disease Control 

Nitrate

Common sources: Fertilizers, septic systems, animal feedlots, industrial waste, or food processing waste

Removing it from drinking water: Treat water using ion exchange, distillation, or reverse osmosis. Find treatment systems certified to remove nitrate.
Illness: High levels of nitrate or nitrite can decrease the ability of your blood to carry oxygen to your tissues. Infants younger than 6 months may be particularly at risk. Related symptoms can include decreases in blood pressure, increased heart rate, headaches, stomach cramps, and vomiting.

Nitrate (NO-) is a naturally occurring form of nitrogen found in soils. Nitrates result from the biological decay of plants, animals, and organic matter. Nitrates in the soil can also result from nitrogen fertilizers and animal manure. Some nitrates in the soil come from the atmosphere through rain or snow. Nitrates are essential to plants for proper growth and development.

Nitrates are not held by soil particles and are easily moved by water. If soil and/or bedrock conditions allow, nitrates can be moved into groundwater. As a result, nitrates can sometimes be found in water at concentrations that can pose serious problems.

Health Center Receives WIC Contract

The Cooper County Public Health Center announced that a contract to continue to provide Women, Infants & Children services for federal fiscal year 2023 has been signed with the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.  Under the terms of the contract, the Cooper County Public Health Center will be able to serve 408 persons eligible for WIC every month.

The WIC program is a special supplemental nutrition program providing services to pregnant women, new mothers, infants and children up to their fifth birthday based on nutritional risk and income eligibility.  The primary services provided are health screening, risk assessment, nutrition education and counseling, breastfeeding promotion and referrals to health care.  Nutritious supplemental food is provided at no cost to participants.

To be eligible for WIC, applicants must have an income of less than or equal to 185 percent of the poverty level, and be determined by a health professional to be at nutritional risk.  Migrant families are also eligible.

WIC supplemental food packages are specially chosen to provide foods high in protein, iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C.  Eligible women and children receive fortified milk and cheese, eggs, whole grain bread products and hot or cold cereals, 100 percent fruit juices and fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables.  The WIC program recommends breastfeeding, provides breastfeeding support, baby foods and infant cereal.  For women who cannot or choose not to breastfeed, infants may receive supplemental iron fortified formula.  WIC participants obtain their foods by redeeming food checks for specific items at local grocery stores and pharmacies. 

Studies confirm that pregnant women who enroll in WIC during the early months of pregnancy have fewer low birth weight babies, experience fewer infant deaths, see the doctor earlier in pregnancy and eat healthier.

WIC is administered in Cooper County by the Cooper County Public Health Center.  Persons interested in applying or who are in need of more information should contact the Cooper County Public Health Center at 660-882-2626.  WIC clinics are offered at the health center at 17040 Klinton Drive, Boonville.

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

COOPER COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT ENTERS

JUDGMENT IN CAFO AND SUNSHINE LAW CASE

            Boonville, MO (Oct. 29, 2022) -- On October 28, 2022, the Cooper County Circuit Court entered a Judgment in the lawsuit filed against the Cooper County Public Health Center in 2019.

            In August 2019, the Public Health Center adopted Regulation 6, which put into place reasonable safeguards designed to protect the public health of the citizens of Cooper County.  Regulation 6 imposed requirements relating to air quality and water quality concerns at concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs.  The specific requirements imposed by Regulation 6 addressed issues that were not directly regulated by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, or DNR. 

            In September 2019, several Cooper County residents filed the lawsuit challenging the requirements in Regulation 6.  The plaintiffs also included several claims relating to the Missouri Sunshine Law.

            In 2019 and 2021, the legislature enacted Senate Bill 391 and House Bill 271, which amended the law such that a health center could not impose local requirements affecting agricultural facilities that were more stringent than, inconsistent with, or different from Missouri DNR’s requirements.  A separate legal challenge to Senate 391 and House Bill 271 is presently pending before the Missouri Supreme Court.

            As a result of this legislation, the Court determined that Regulation 6 exceeded the Missouri DNR CAFO requirements and was void.  In August 2022, the court conducted a trial in which the jury determined that several Sunshine Law violations had occurred in 2018 and 2019.

            “In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs alleged 198 instances of Sunshine Law violations, but the vast majority of these allegations were dismissed,” said Chris Pieper, an attorney representing the Health Center.  “The only violations found consisted primarily of insufficient notices of meetings, not properly wording motions, and insufficient meeting minutes,” added Pieper.  “The plaintiffs requested the Court to award more than $105,000 in legal fees in this case,” said Pieper, “But the Court substantially reduced that amount to $94,000.”

“The purpose for adopting Regulation 6 was to protect the citizens of Cooper County,” said Patty Dick, president of the Board of Trustees.  “While we are certainly disappointed in the court’s Judgment, we do respect the rule of law,” added Dick.

The health center will continue to offer testing on a part-time until further notice.

Please keep getting vaccinated, wearing a mask, and keeping your distance please. Handwashing is always critical.

2022 Covid mid-month report

     January 2022 is on track to surpass November and December 2021 positive covid cases. As of 9:30am this morning we have had 319 cases reported. More cases are arriving as I type this report. Please remember that the number of actual positive cases are much higher due to home testing and individuals who are not being tested, even though they are experiencing sinus symptoms.

     As the covid pandemic continues to evolve the undisputed facts remain. The incubation period remains 14 days. The method of transmission remains respiratory. The days individuals are expected to quarantine may vary due to political and economic pressures.  Masking, distance, handwashing, and vaccination remain the most effective tools we have in our available to us.

      As traditional public health measures continue to be villainized, our cases are rising. As cases rise, we never know who will be loved one that will experience long term physical damage or sadly perish. It is not like influenza.

      Cooper County citizens have the choice to waste their time working against each other by promoting the  spread of covid disease and reducing available educational and healthcare services. However, I am asking all citizens  to work together to support every person regardless of age, pre-existing health conditions, student, and employment status. Let us all put our energy in treating each human as a valued member of our community who needs protection against the corona virus.

 Thank you very much, Melanie Hutton RN, MSN Administrator

Scam Alert # 1

Do not open or respond to any emails wanting information about Pfizer or Moderna Vaccine. The email address is out of the UK and I suspect it is a scam. The Cooper County Public Health Center does not share your vaccination status.

Thank you,
Melanie Hutton RN, MSN Administrator

Scam Alert #2
There is someone who has been pretending to be a health inspector in counties other than Cooper thus far. This impersonator will arrive at facilities to be given access and perform a false inspection.

In Cooper County we have three part-time inspectors: Sue Wilman, Randy Strough and Jesse Devillier. Melanie Hutton is also cross trained and can fill in during emergencies. All staff have ID's and can be confirmed with our office if need be. Our number is 660-882-2626. Traditional health inspectors are not scheduled in advance and we encourage safety in our community. If a business has any doubts please call 660-882-2626 to verify. credentials/identity of health inspectors.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.

The staff of the CCPHC wish everyone a safe and Merry Christmas.

The Cooper County Public Health Center (CCPHC) is changing how we follow-up on positive case contacts. As we experience an increase in cases, we needed to evaluate how to better utilize our available resources. We spend a large amount of time trying to contact positive cases. Not all individuals care to communicate with our staff. Therefore, we are making the following changes:

• If you are an adult who has been diagnosed with covid and have questions about quarantine or need an excuse for work, please call our office. A nurse will assist you. Phone number is
660-882-2626

• School age children and families will be a priority. If you do not call us, we will reach out by phone to the family and school

• Information on quarantine and covid care will be mailed to all adult households upon receiving a report of a positive covid diagnosis

Covid Care Update

Dear Cooper County Community,

We encourage all citizens to be safe and use caution/consideration in their activities related to the prevention of Covid disease spread. Please be vigilant and protective of family, friends, neighbors, and yourself.

Current positive covid cases are increasing. Omicron strain is projected to cause a rapid rise in positive cases on top of the current Delta strain that is circulating.

Please remember that healthcare and testing resources are strained and limited already. During case investigations after Thanksgiving, we learned that many covid positive individuals knowingly attended Thanksgiving gatherings while they should have been home on quarantine.

If citizens continue to engage in this type of behavior, we can expect a full crisis of care for everyone.

Here is a friendly reminder for actions that you can do to promote health and decrease the spread of disease.
1. If you feel ill or experiencing respiratory problems seek covid testing or an exam by a physician or nurse practitioner. Use frequent handwashing.
2. Wear a mask and decline invitations for public gatherings. Keep your distance from immediate family members and co-workers.
3. All individuals need to be masking even if you have had covid previously or have been vaccinated. As the virus mutates you may still be susceptible to the disease and can spread it among friends and family members.
4. Dining out or shared family meals can place individuals as risk for exposure and spread of disease. Please limit your gatherings and request friends and family to not attend if they are having signs and symptoms of any type of illness or if they have not completed their quarantine yet.
5. Christmas gatherings should be postposed if family members are ill. It is better to have a delayed holiday celebration rather than hospitalize and or cause the death of a family member or friend.
6. Distance and air flow at gatherings can also reduce your risk of inadvertent spread of respiratory droplets. This includes influenza and covid.

The Cooper County Public Health Center provides covid testing by appointment only. Covid vaccinations are provided every Thursday 9am-12 and 1-5pm. No appointment is necessary for the Thursday Clinics.

Routine Childhood immunization are by appointment only.

Your health center is currently experiencing a shortage of staff. Please be prepared that we may not be able to meet all the requests for services as we manage our way through another wave of Covid in this pandemic.

We wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a safe and happy holiday season.

Sincerely,

Melanie Hutton RN, MSN
Administrator

Masks will help reduce influenza. Watch Facebook and the CCPHC website for Pfizer clinics for children ages 5-11 in the near future. Make good decisions and be safe out there. Thank you!

     October looks to be slightly lower than the positive case numbers in September thus far. It is too soon for people to say we are over the hill on the Delta variant. October positive case numbers are 65 as of today.

     We must remain vigilant with masks, distancing, and handwashing. Compliance with quarantine remains especially important. When I personally go out in public, I often find the employees of the establishment and myself are the only people wearing masks. Concessions have been made by officials (on a state and federal level) to ease the demands of the public and the economy. What HAS NOT CHANGED is the disease incubation period and the common denominator of days after exposure when symptoms occur. Testing to promote early detection and to keep individuals in jobs or school etc. comes with more demands for resources. Resources are funds for testing supplies, medical waste, licensed healthcare staff to perform services on top of the current disease and vaccination caseloads. There is no covid money left at our office and public health is forced once again to compete for funds from other agencies. Healthcare fatigue, lack of resiliency and burnout is a struggle in Cooper County. Not only for our office but also school officials and primary care services. The pressure of living in a dual community of believers and non-believers is extracting a heavy toll.

     I remained stunned when people say, “oh I bet things are better and slowed down right”? Must be getting rest? Nope, my staff and I are struggling under heavy pressure to vaccinate, test and control case numbers. This does not account for the routine work load we had prior to pandemic. We all wish for our lives to return to normal with school, jobs, fun, sports, and times with our loved ones. Resistance only extends our time in the pandemic. We are over 715,000 deaths and the number of cases of individuals who have long haul covid is in the millions. How many of those with permanent damage from covid are unable to work or work at the physical level they could pre-covid? How many seniors who have died are no longer in the work force? How many parents cannot work because their daycare closed, or their children are sent home for quarantine? Since March of 2020 we have yet as a county, state and nation completed a full two weeks of quarantine much less a of month of quarantine; to let the disease die away for want of a new human host. Economics and personal rights have been made a priority over fundamental public health protections.

     It is never too late to start making a difference in your life and the lives of everyone in Cooper County.

Melanie Hutton RN, MSN Administrator

Covid19 Virus | Fitzgibbon Hospital

Delta Variant Prompts Walk-in Clinics - Published 7/19/2021. With the Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus hitting hard in low-vaccinated communities in Missouri, Fitzgibbon Hospital and affiliated clinics are working to remove barriers for people to receive their vaccine through upcoming walk-in clinics.

www.fitzgibbon.org

With the Delta variant of the Covid-19 virus hitting hard in low-vaccinated communities in Missouri, Fitzgibbon Hospital and affiliated clinics are working to remove barriers for people to receive their vaccine through upcoming walk-in clinics. Appointments and pre-registration will not be required, and those seeking the vaccine are encouraged to simply walk in during the specified times.

Health experts in affected communities report that the Delta variant of Covid is causing younger people to be sickened more quickly and with more severe symptoms than what was seen last year at what was considered the virus’ peak.

Fitzgibbon Hospital encourages individuals to seek out vaccination before the virus gains a stronghold in their community. Anyone aged 12 and over can receive their Covid-19 vaccine. However, minors must be accompanied by their guardian.

Fitzgibbon Hospital and affiliated clinics will be delivering Covid-19 booster shots in the near future.  We are awaiting final guidance for administration by the CDC and FDA before scheduling opportunities for our residents to receive the boosters.  

Watch our social media, website and local media outlets for announcements coming soon.
If you would like to pre-register and make an appointment, please call our vaccine pre-registration message line at (660)831-3783
Vaccine pre-registration now available.  As the state continues its plan to vaccinate all Missouri residents who would like to be vaccinated for Covid-19, Fitzgibbon Hospital has created an online pre-registration form to quicken the process and help plan the quantities needed.  Please visit our Pre-registration page to sign-up and our staff will call you when your phase is active.  To learn about when you might qualify for the Covid-19 vaccine, visit www.mostopscovid.com.

What do I do to show that I have had the vaccine if I lost my Covid-19 vaccine card?

DHSS is not offering replacement cards; however individuals can be directed to complete a request for official State of Missouri Immunization Records form, and DHSS can send them a copy of the immunization record on file in ShowMeVax, the statewide immunizations registry.  They can either fax or email the completed form to immunizationrecordrequests@health.mo.gov or fax:573-526-0238.  Additionally, if you received your vaccination at a Fitzgibbon Hospital event or affiliated clinic, you can login to your FitzChart Patient Portal and your record is displayed there for printing.

Don’t give up. Keep wearing masks, keep your distance and vaccinate please!

Total cases for the month of September 1- 18, 2021 is 172 new cases (non-correctional). For the month of August 2021, we had a total of 312 new cases.  Our county is in the REMAINS in the red high spread risk zone for positive covid cases.

The Cooper County Public Health Center STRONGLY recommends all schools, daycares, businesses, places of public gatherings return to requiring masks for the next six weeks. District, public and private schools will be starting soon. We need parents to support mask use for their children and all the school employees. If we all work together and wear masks, we can reduce the number of cases and allow the children a safer group environment to learn, participate in athletics and socialize in.

If masks are not required in each school building, then school related covid exposures will have to quarantine at home for ten days instead of being able to attend school with masks during their ten-day quarantine period.

Our covid case rates are increasing and if we all unite to help reduce our case spread over the next six weeks then we can evaluate and hopefully reduce mask usage as optional. Increasing our covid immunizations for all ages 12 and up over this same time period will work in tandem with the masks.

Let’s work together for our children and our communities!

Sincerely,

Melanie Hutton RN, MSN Administrator

Necessary Information:

·         Web Link – https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/tyson-foods-inc.-recalls-ready-eat-chicken-products-due-possible-listeria

Tyson Foods Inc., a Dexter, Mo. establishment, is recalling approximately 8,492,832 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The frozen, fully cooked chicken products were produced between December 26, 2020 and April 13, 2021. The products that are subject to recall are listed here. View the labels here.       

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. P-7089” on the product bag or inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped nationwide to retailers and institutions, including hospitals, nursing facilities, restaurants, schools and Department of Defense locations.                             

On June 9, 2021, FSIS was notified of two persons ill with listeriosis. Working in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state public health partners, FSIS determined there is evidence linking the Listeria monocytogenes illnesses to precooked chicken produced at Tyson Foods Inc. The epidemiologic investigation identified three listeriosis illnesses, including one death, between April 6, 2021 and June 5, 2021. During routine sample collection, FSIS collected two precooked chicken samples from two establishments that are closely related genetically to Listeria monocytogenes from ill people. One of the samples was collected at Tyson Foods Inc. FSIS is continuing to work with federal and state public health partners to determine if there are additional illnesses linked to these products.

Additional information on the investigation may be found on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website.

Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.

Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. Persons in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumer and institutional freezers. Consumers should not eat these products. Institutions should not serve these products. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.

Members of the media who have questions regarding the recall can contact Derek Burleson, Communications Manager, Tyson Foods, at (479) 290-6466 or  derek.burleson@tyson.com. Consumers who have questions can contact Tyson Foods customer relations, at (855) 382-3101.

Consumers with food safety questions can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) or live chat via Ask USDA from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Consumers can also browse food safety messages at Ask USDA or send a question via email to MPHotline@usda.gov. For consumers that need to report a problem with a meat, poultry, or egg product, the online Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System can be accessed 24 hours a day at https://foodcomplaint.fsis.usda.gov/eCCF/.

RESOLUTION 2021-1
 

            Be it Resolved on this 5th day of April 2021 by the Board of Health Center Trustees of Cooper County, Missouri, as follows:

            Whereas, the Board of Health Center Trustees of Cooper County, Missouri, was created by vote of the people of Cooper County Missouri, in accordance with sections 205.010 to

205.150 Revised Statutes of Missouri, 1949, as amended by House Bill No. 307, of the 66th General Assembly of Missouri; and

 Whereas, the Board of Health Center Trustees of Cooper County, Missouri has adopted CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH CENTER TRUSTEES OF COOPER COUNTY, MISSOURI; and

 The CONSTITUTION AND BY-LAWS OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH CENTER TRUSTEES OF COOPER COUNTY, MISSOURI is amended to add a new Section V to include Article 1 and Article 2 to read as follows:

SECTION V - ETHICS AND CONFLICT OF INTEREST

ARTICLE 1
 

            A.        If the Missouri Ethics Commission, or any other lawfully empowered authority, determines there is a reasonable basis to believe that:

(1)               A trustee; a trustee’s campaign finance committee; or any individual, business, group or other entity, 

(2)               Has spent money to support a trustee’s election campaign or has provided

any direct or indirect benefit to the trustee’s election campaign, and

(3)               In so doing engaged in any conduct in violation of any provision in

Chapters 105 or 130, RSMo, or any rule promulgated thereunder by the Missouri Ethics Commission, then,

(4)               Said trustee shall automatically forfeit such office and shall be prohibited from serving as a trustee, employee, or independent contractor for the Board of Health Center Trustees for Cooper County, Missouri.

ARTICLE 2

B.                 Policy Definitions.

(1)               Conflict of Interest: A conflict of interest arises if there is an actual divergence between a trustee’s or employee’s personal interests, including personal interests of Relatives, and any business with which he/she is associated, and any official interest of the Cooper County Public Health Center. A potential conflict of interest exists when circumstances may lead to the divergence between personal interests and official interests. A perceived conflict of interest exists when an independent observer might question whether the trustee’s or employee’s actions can reasonably be influenced by considerations of personal benefit, financial or otherwise.

(2)               Relative: An individual’s spouse, domestic partner, parent, natural child, adopted child, stepchild, grandchild, great-grandchild, sibling, half-sibling, ancestor, or the spouse or domestic partner of the individual’s child, grandchild, great-grandchild, or sibling.

Cooper County Public Health Center has a transaction or affiliation;

(b)               A compensation arrangement with any entity with which the

Cooper County Public Health Center has a transaction or affiliation;

(c)               A potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation arrangement with any individual or entity with which the Cooper County Public Health Center is considering or negotiating a transaction or arrangement.

(d)               Any interest of any other kind that is adverse to an official interest of the Cooper County Public Health Center.

C.                 Prohibited Acts.  A trustee or employee shall not:

(1)               Act or refrain from acting in any capacity in which he/she is lawfully empowered to act as such an official or employee by reason of any payment, offer to pay, promise to pay, or receipt of anything of actual pecuniary value paid or payable, or received or receivable, to themselves, any relative, or any third person, including any gift or campaign contribution, made or received in relationship to or as a condition of the performance of an official act; or

(2)               Use confidential information obtained in the course of or by reason of

his/her position or official capacity in any manner with intent to result in a personal benefit for themselves, any Relative, or any business with which he/she is associated; or

(3)               Disclose confidential information obtained in the course of or by reason of his/her employment or official capacity in any manner with intent to result in personal benefit for themselves, any Relative, any other person; or any business with which he/she is associated; or

(4)               Use their decision-making authority for the purpose of obtaining or providing a personal benefit to themselves, any Relative, or any business with which he/she is associated; or

(5)               Fail to disclose to the Board of Health Center Trustees of Cooper County,

We have just received the attached information that was acquired and compiled by students at Bunceton School. We are posting this information here and on our website under public notices at the request of the public for the upcoming election to be held on Tuesday April 6th.

On Monday, February 8, 2021 the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services opened an automated COVID-19 vaccine registration system. It is called Missouri Vaccine Navigator.

SUMMARY
• Missouri is in the red zone for cases, indicating 101 or more new cases per 100,000 population, with the 19th
highest rate in the country. Missouri is in the red zone for test positivity, indicating a rate at or above 10.1%,
with the 10th highest rate in the country.
• Missouri has seen an increase in new cases and an increase in test positivity.
• The following three counties had the highest number of new cases over the last 3 weeks: 1. St. Louis County, 2.
Jackson County, and 3. St. Charles County. These counties represent 28.9% of new cases in Missouri.
• 91% of all counties in Missouri have moderate or high levels of community transmission (yellow, orange, or red
zones), with 76% having high levels of community transmission (red zone).
• During the week of Oct 19 – Oct 25, 23% of nursing homes had at least one new resident COVID-19 case, 38%
had at least one new staff COVID-19 case, and 6% had at least one new resident COVID-19 death.
• Missouri had 257 new cases per 100,000 population, compared to a national average of 165 per 100,000.
• Current staff deployed from the federal government as assets to support the state response are: 67 to support
operations activities from FEMA; 5 to support operations activities from ASPR; 17 to support medical activities
from VA; and 3 to support operations activities from VA.
• The federal government has supported surge testing in Columbia, Cape Giradeau, Branson, and Lee’s Summit.
• Between Oct 24 – Oct 30, on average, 182 patients with confirmed COVID-19 and 217 patients with suspected
COVID-19 were reported as newly admitted each day to hospitals in Missouri. An average of greater than 95% of
hospitals reported either new confirmed or new suspected COVID patients each day during this period.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• As you can see from the time sequence of maps at the back of your packet, there is a continued increase in
cases, hospitalizations, and fatalities nationally, spreading southward from the coldest climates as the
population moves indoors and cases increase exponentially. These maps demonstrate the previous impact of
comprehensive mitigation efforts when implemented effectively in many areas and that partial or incomplete
mitigation leads to prolonged community spread, hospitalizations, and increased fatalities.
• With unrelenting spread and increasing new hospital admissions, refocus efforts on finding asymptomatic
sources of spread.
• Prioritize the use of Abbot BinaxNOW:
• Implement weekly sentinel surveillance among specific populations to provide detailed trend data on
where the virus is and direct mitigation efforts. Target populations should include healthcare workers,
K-12 teachers, prison staff, and first responders.
• Find asymptomatic cases to stop the source of spread; primarily test those younger than 40 years old.
• In areas with low positivity, confirm positives with RT-PCR testing. Realign contact tracing staff to support new
testing approaches. Visualize integrated surveillance data on dashboard so community can see local virus
changes.
• Effective practices to decrease transmission in public spaces include limiting restaurant indoor capacity to less
than 50% and restricting hours until cases and test positivity decrease.
• Review testing at universities; if universities have not been testing all students (on and off campus) weekly,
then work with them to implement weekly testing protocols. Investigate if there is ongoing transmission in
university towns; mitigation behaviors may be eroding in university towns.
• Messages to community for basic actions that they should take now:
• Do not gather without a mask with individuals living outside of your household.
• Always wear a mask in public places.
• Stop gatherings beyond immediate household until cases and test positivity decrease significantly.

SUMMARY
• Missouri is in the red zone for cases, indicating 101 or more new cases per 100,000 population last week,
with the 15th highest rate in the country. Missouri is in the orange zone for test positivity, indicating a rate
between 8.0% and 10.0%, with the 10th highest rate in the country.
• Missouri has seen stability in new cases and stability in test positivity over the last week.
• The following three counties had the highest number of new cases over the last 3 weeks: 1. Jackson
County, 2. St. Louis County, and 3. Greene County. These counties represent 29.6% of new cases in
Missouri.
• 80% of all counties in Missouri have moderate or high levels of community transmission (yellow, orange,
or red zones), with 47% having high levels of community transmission (red zone).
• During the week of Sep 28 – Oct 4, 20% of nursing homes had at least one new resident COVID-19 case,
34% had at least one new staff COVID-19 case, and 7% had at least one new resident COVID-19 death.
• Missouri had 159 new cases per 100,000 population in the last week, compared to a national average of
100 per 100,000.
• Current staff deployed from the federal government as assets to support the state response are: 69 to
support operations activities from FEMA; 5 to support operations activities from ASPR; 1 to support
epidemiology activities from CDC; 2 to support operations activities from CDC; 28 to support medical
activities from VA; and 1 to support operations activities from VA.
• Between Oct 3 – Oct 9, on average, 150 patients with confirmed COVID-19 and 217 patients with suspected
COVID-19 were reported as newly admitted each day to hospitals in Missouri. An average of greater than
95% of hospitals reported either new confirmed or new suspected COVID patients each day during this
period.
RECOMMENDATIONS
• We have included cases, test positivity, and deaths by month in the back of your packet to show the time
sequence in Missouri and the country as a whole. These demonstrate the impact of comprehensive
mitigation efforts when implemented effectively and that partial or incomplete mitigation leads to
prolonged community spread and increased fatalities.
• Community spread continues in Missouri in both rural and urban areas. Mitigation efforts should increase
to include mask wearing, physical distancing, hand hygiene, and avoiding crowds in public and social
gatherings in private to stop the increasing spread among residents of Missouri.
• There continue to be severe outbreaks among nursing home residents and staff; common sense
mitigation efforts can prevent transmission among the vulnerable populations.
• With the rise in cases among individuals 65 years and older, provide information through senior citizen
networks to alert them to take precautionary measures.
• Use the Abbott BinaxNOW for surveillance testing in the same populations weekly. This will provide
information on local transmission changes. Establish and deploy targeted testing teams (not drivethrough testing) who can be rapidly deployed to communities based on signals from surveillance testing.
Populations for surveillance can include K-12 teachers, fire and police force, and nursing home and
correctional facility staff.
• Antivirals and antibodies have the most impact when used early in hospital admissions (within 48 hours).
Ensure hospitals are effectively administering these medications to prevent morbidity and mortality.
• Work with university students to keep cases low, with the goal of low transmission in preparation for
Thanksgiving. Implement antibody testing to understand the fraction of students who have been infected
and plan for spring semester accordingly. Test all university students before dismissing them for
Thanksgiving.
• Specific, detailed guidance on community mitigation measures can be found on the CDC website.

Covid 19 related death data:

From: Melanie J. Hutton RN, MSN Administrator

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services confirmed yesterday that individuals who do not have Covid-19 or corona virus listed in the primary or secondary cause of death will not be counted as Covid-19 related. When we release our numbers later today the death count will be decreased by one case. Thank you.

STATE REPORT10.18.2020 SUMMARY•

As we continue to work with each of you on data quality and data reporting, we will continue to add relevant data to our joint understanding. We greatly appreciate the feedback and we use this to continually improve. This week, we have included the data reported to HHS from your hospitals regarding admissions and next, we will include PPE data reported.•Missouri is in the red zone for cases, indicating 101 or more new cases per 100,000 population last week, with the 10th highest rate in the country. Missouri is in the red zone for test positivity, indicating a rate at or above 10.1%, with the 8th highest rate in the country.•Missouri has seen an increase in new cases and an increase in test positivity over the last week.•The following three counties had the highest number of new cases over the last 3 weeks: 1. Jackson County, 2. St. Louis County, and 3. Greene County. These counties represent 27.6% of new cases in Missouri.•88% of all counties in Missouri have moderate or high levels of community transmission (yellow, orange, or red zones), with 62% having high levels of community transmission (red zone).•During the week of Oct 5 -Oct 11, 19% of nursing homes had at least one new resident COVID-19 case, 34% had at least one new staff COVID-19 case, and 9% had at least one new resident COVID-19 death.•Missouri had 216 new cases per 100,000 population in the last week, compared to a national average of 117 per 100,000.•Current staff deployed from the federal government as assets to support the state response are: 69 to support operations activities from FEMA; 5 to support operations activities from ASPR; 35 to support medical activities from VA; and 1 to support operations activities from VA.•Between Oct 10 -Oct 16, on average, 173 patients with confirmed COVID-19 and 221 patients with suspected COVID-19 were reported as newly admitted each day to hospitals in Missouri. An average of greater than 95% of hospitals reported either new confirmed or new suspected COVID patients each day during this period.RECOMMENDATIONS•We have included cases, test positivity, and deaths by month in the back of your packet to show the time sequence in Missouri and the country as a whole. These demonstrate the impact of comprehensive mitigation efforts when implemented effectively and that partial or incomplete mitigation leads to prolonged community spread and increased fatalities.•Mitigation efforts must be strengthened, especially in areas with increasing cases and test positivity. These must include mask wearing, physical distancing, hand hygiene, avoiding crowds in public and social gatherings in private, and ensuring flu immunizations.•In red and orange counties, both public and private gatherings should be as small as possible and optimally, not extend beyond immediate family.•Keep testing levels high across the state, particularly in red and orange counties, to quickly identify positives so they can isolate themselves and prevent ongoing transmission.•Fully deploy Abbott BinaxNOW tests statewide in sentinel sites and populations; weekly surveillance data will proactively identify emerging hotspots where immediate action should be taken to stop the spread within communities. All antigen tests must be reported with both the number of positive results and total tests conducted; positives must be reported as COVID cases. Repeat testing of individuals as surveillance with confirmation of all positives with nucleic acid testing is the optimal use of antigen tests.•With 34% of nursing homes reporting at least one COVID positive staff member, work with nursing homes to trace exposures of positive staff to decrease introduction of community transmission to nursing homes.•Work with rural communities to demonstrate how real the disease is in their communities.•Ensure university students continue their mitigation behaviors to ensure no further outbreaks on or off campus as symptomatic cases and cases identified through surveillance testing decline.•Provide specific mitigation messaging to individuals 65 years and older through senior citizen networks.•Ensure all hospitals have access to antivirals and antibodies and ensure early use as treatment (within 48 hours).•Specific, detailed guidance on community mitigation measures can be found on the CDC website.

The Cooper County Public Health Center appreciates feedback and concerns:

1. The CCPHC staff have never stopped contract tracing. Sometimes we get behind when large numbers or complicated investigations occur. If citizens are waiting on a call from the health center, please call us at 660-882-2626. Laboratory notification to the health center may be delayed, and sometimes do not get reports for 10-14 days. There have been some instances where they are a month or more late. We have zero control as to when reports arrive to our office. We are also dependent on the information shared by positive cases. Some individuals give lots of details, some give minimal and some refuse to give any information. So, they may have friends or family members waiting for us to call however, we have no idea the close contact occurred. Once again please call the health center if you have any questions at 660-882-2626.
2. Now that school is in session weekends are a busy time for events (of all kinds) and sharing of the covid virus. Friday’s are a critical day for new cases and for notifying the public of any announcements and exposure alerts. Public messages are created if we have a case that has potential to spread in large numbers.
3. In terms of when and how we release public information, each case is looked at for the potential for spread, timing and related events where it occurred and future upcoming events. We also talk with the State of Missouri disease specialists. We must make decisions fast and keep moving on to new cases and contacts. Governor Parson’s has mandated school age children be a priority for case investigations. The cases are coming in so fast public announcements will become a norm and not the exception.
4. We have been criticized for releasing not enough information and too much information. The decision-making process is as described in the #3. The sharing of information is not shaming the event or persons. It is intended to increase covid risk awareness
5. Our staff also take calls and respond to reports of people who are perceived to be violating quarantine. Some are accurate reports and others are false. Rumors are often a source of false information that takes time from other patient duties and cases.
6. The following large events have had zero reports and or cases associated with them. Once again, I remind you that the people interviewed may or may not share important information.
   We have not had any reported cases associated with the following events:
   
   Cooper County Fair Grounds Fourth of July celebration, Youth livestock fair, Loomis Brother’s Circus. The C Rock City Event at Maggie’s. The Steam Engine show and the Pilot Grove Rodeo.
   
   
   
7. The following events had 1-2 cases associated as per case investigation. Again, I would like to say rumors may indicate otherwise but if we cannot substantiate rumors or associate positive cases, they remain rumors. We are also dependent upon the positive case being forthcoming with information:
   Buerky’s BBQ, Main Street Pub, Love’s-Hardee’s, The Pilot-Wendy’s, Isle of Capri, Walmart’s, Dollar General and The Cove. This list may not be complete as we have over 500 cases since late June.  Some businesses in town have cameras and they work with the health center to help review positive case activities during the event or work. Decisions are made at that time as to whether there would be a public announcement. It also depends on whether positive case was an employee or a patron and again their level of exposure.
   
   
   
8. When the pandemic started Cooper County cases were low. Events were canceled and school was online. As the events reopened along with the normal activities of our daily lives our cases have increased. Slowly at first and with each week our numbers have increased. Once schools decided to have in person classes on top of increasing case numbers, it has become more imperative to help reduce cases and keep children in the classroom with their teachers. The volume of time we spend with school systems each day working very hard to keep kids in school is profound. The community has no idea how much time our schools spend working to prevent the spread and keep kids in schools.
9. We hired and brought on staff late August early September. New staff requires training.
10. The State of Missouri put in a new disease management reporting system mid-August. It did not migrate pre-existing cases from March through mid-August until the month of September. That migration occurred over the weekends. Our office keeps paper charts. NO DATA has been lost. It may not be easily accessible when working remotely via the computer. The CCPHC has no control of state operating systems and the migration of data. The system also experienced new start up glitches. Those glitches and heavy use slow down the system daily.
11. The staff of the CCPHC had to build our own contact tracing and data collection system. We needed those new employees to get up to speed and assist in manpower. Our new developed system along with staff has allowed for us to pictorial graphs to help provide education. The timing of the educational reports is related to staffing and creation of a new system. The State of Missouri has not provided a system for contact tracing. Contact tracing varies from county to county in the State of Missouri. The new system mentioned in #10 has components of tracing but does not provide a comprehensive notification system. It is still manual on all levels.
12. The pandemic appears to be long term in nature. Decisions must be made that are unpopular and everyone is experiencing inconveniences, loss of revenue, mourning a lifestyle we all had. Many families have had losses that are more than an inconvenience. They are the loss of a loved one, access to loved ones in institutions, and long-term physical damage because of covid.

I wish everyone a safe and happy Sunday.

A private 5th grade football team that goes by the name of the Eagles had a player test positive. While the health center has been able to talk with the parent of the positive child and the league commissioner, we have been unable to obtain a list of players or parents’ names with contact information. Per the league commissioner, the parents declined to have their information shared with the health center. The alert is being placed to the public as we have no idea as to what schools may be potentially impacted. We have been told that the team will continue to play and have notified future opposing teams. If you are a parent of a player of the Eagles team, please contact the Cooper County Public Health Center for more information. Since October 1st we have had sixteen school age children test positive. Thirteen of the sixteen cases have occurred since October 12, 2020. Please use our website to contact the Health Center for further information.
