Nodaway County Among Fastest Rising Counties in State for Coronavirus

The Northwest Missourian, the college paper of Northwest Missouri State, reported on August 26th that Nodaway County had the second fastest rising cases in the state during the previous seven days. Since then, numbers have continued to skyrocket.

The rise has been driven by cases among people in their teens and 20’s. There have been reports on Facebook of rampant parties in Maryville, in which no social distancing was practiced and no masks were worn. There have also been cases among high school students; several Maryville High School football players were held out of Friday’s Blair Oaks game, one of the worst losses by Maryville in recent memory.

On Thursday, there were 28 new Coronavirus cases in Nodaway County. There were six females and 5 males between 10 and 19, and six females and 8 males between 20 and 29 years. There was one female and one male between 40 and 49, and one female between 60 and 69.

On Friday, there were 30 more Coronavirus cases. Out of these, there were two females and three males between 10 and 19, 10 females and 12 males between 20 and 29, two males between 40 and 49, and one male between 60 and 69.
