A Missouri hospital just hit its all-time high for Covid cases. But the county fair that attracts thousands won't be canceled
CNN
The Ozark Empire Fair hosts thousands of visitors from around Missouri, but only 35% of its county is vaccinated and Covid-19 cases are on the rise.
A resident of Springfield, Missouri, since 2005 and the owner of a local brewery, Tignor said nothing could "drag her there" this year, even though she's fully vaccinated. "As you're sitting in a crowd, six out of the 10 people around you probably haven't been vaccinated," Tignor told CNN. "And that just seems like a risk that I'm not willing to take."More Related News
