Amidst the coronavirus pandemic and easing of restrictions, people from Central Missouri decided to have a pool party at the Lake of the Ozarks for the Memorial Day holiday weekend. According to reports, despite the state-sponsored social distancing orders crowds flooded bars and restaurants at the Lake of the Ozarks which is a hot spot and attracts Missouri residents as well as people from surrounding states like Illinois, Kansas, Arkansas and Iowa.

No social distancing at pool party

In videos and pictures posted on social media, people can be seen crammed into pools where no social distancing exists and also without masks. Missouri’s statewide stay-at-home orders reportedly expired earlier this month but an additional order from the state’s health director advises people to stay at least six feet away from others at least till the end of May.
