Someone from Greene County, who was infected with COVID-19, spent around 7 hours at Nelson Park in Lebanon on Saturday, June 20th, during a baseball tournament. Laclede County Health Department Administrator, Charla Baker, says the individual was asymptomatic and they were not wearing a mask……….

The individual was there from approximately 2:30 to-9:30 p.m. They also visited Steak-N-Shake in Lebanon between 5:30 and 6:30 on that date. Baker says, with almost no one taking precautions, a gathering like this could turn into a super-spreader event very quickly………..
