SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — A Great Clips hair stylist in Springfield worked several days while symptomatic for COVID-19, according to the Springfield-Greene County Health Department.
The individual recently returned from travel elsewhere in Missouri outside of the Springfield region, according to Springfield-Greene County Health Department Director Clay Goddard.
The individual worked at Great Clips at 1864 S. Glenstone Ave. during the following dates and times:
Tuesday, May 12 (8:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.)

Tuesday, May 19 (12 p.m. – 6 p.m.)
Wednesday, May 20 (12 p.m. – 6 p.m.)
Health leaders say the individual and their clients were wearing face coverings. Seven co-workers and 84 clients, who were potentially directly exposed, will be notified by the Health Department and offered testing.
The health department hopes for no additional cases since the individual and co-workers wore face masks throughout this exposure timeline.
Anyone deemed not to be a close contact during this timeframe, but were in this location during those dates and times is believed to be at low risk. These individuals are advised to watch for symptoms, but do not need to self-quarantine or isolate unless symptoms develop.
