CLAYTON (KMOX) -- St. Louis County Executive Sam Page wants anyone who went to Lake of the Ozarks over the weekend to self-quarantine for two weeks."This reckless behavior endangers countless people and risks setting us back substantially from the progress we have made in slowing the spread of COVID-19," Page said in a statement. "I encourage everyone to follow the Department of Public Health advisory to determine a safe path forward in the workplace."

The St. Louis County Department of Public Health has issued a travel advisory -- it calls for anyone who got within six feet of someone else -- so basically anyone -- to quarantine for 14 days or until they test negative for COVID-19.
This is what the party looked like.
