Health officials were tracking down 91 people who were potentially exposed to determine if they've developed COVID-19.
coronavirusThe exposed include 84 Great Clips customers and, potentially, seven coworkers, said Clay Goddard, director of the Springfield-Greene County Health Department. The condition of the stylist, who was not identified, was not revealed.
So far, no other positive case connected to the stylist has been confirmed, but the county is nonetheless facing"a glut of cases," Goddard said."The good news is both the clients and the hairstylists were masked" at the time of exposure, he said. Goddard said at a news conference Friday that more cases like this would quickly strain Springfield's ability to care for patients.
"The hair stylist worked while sick," he said."I’m gong to be honest with you: We can’t have many more of these."
