St. Louis City released its youth sports guidelines Wednesday, as well. Those guidelines allow low-frequency contact sports to begin competition. Moderate and high frequency sports, however, have more restrictions than St. Louis County as they can only have groups of 11 athletes and two coaches practice together. No games, tournaments or spectators are allowed at this time.

As of Thursday, the St. Louis County Department of Public Health says there have been 21,187 confirmed COVID-19 cases since the pandemic began in March. The St. Louis City Health department says there have been 6,389 confirmed cases in that same time frame. Combined, the nearly 28,000 confirmed cases is the most in Missouri. Kansas City and its surrounding counties have nearly 18,000 confirmed cases according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.

The St. Charles County Department of Public Health counts 6,486 confirmed COVID-19 cases. The Jefferson County Health Department, which just issued a red zone alert because of “widespread uncontrolled community transmission,” has 3,190 confirmed cases according to the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.

When Fox hosts Borgia in a football game Friday night in Arnold, no spectators will be allowed. Seckman, which is located in Imperial, had to cancel its scheduled game with Northwest–Cedar Hill due to potential COVID-19 exposure.
