There have been 85,673,400 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States to date – and that number continues to grow.
In the Jefferson City metropolitan area, located in Missouri, a total of 40,152 cases of COVID-19 have been reported. Adjusted for population, there have been 26,563 confirmed infections for every 100,000 people in the area — in line with the national rate of 26,186 cases per 100,000 people.
Even though COVID-19 infections per capita are in line with the national average across Jefferson City , there are parts of the metro area where this is not the case.
