COVID-19 Data

The latest novel coronavirus COVID-19-related data and maps for the City of St. Louis

Data is updated on a continual basis and is therefore subject to change. Sometimes through case investigation the DOH learns that an individual actually lives outside of the City, so they may be transferred to the appropriate jurisdiction. Likewise, other jurisdictions may transfer cases to the City. So case count totals and underlying data will be dynamic to reflect the most current information.

All seven-day metrics are based on the date a test or death occurred, and are subject to a three-day delay to ensure data are accurate and complete. Learn what these numbers mean.

New COVID-19 Hospital Admissions

New Hospital Admissions in Missouri View Data

COVID-19 can cause respiratory distress and can sometimes impact other bodily systems, for instance causing neurological or cardiovascular symptoms. In severe cases, health issues related to COVID-19 infection can require a patient to need advanced care and may be admitted to a hospital for treatment. Hospitalization is a key metric that is tracked by the City of St. Louis Dept. of Health and the CDC because it can be used to inform residents about community level risk, and is also an indicator for the burden placed on the healthcare system. This graph shows the number of new hospitalizations due to COVID-19 across Missouri, based on data reported to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN).

*Note: Data for reporting dates through April 30, 2024 represent data reported during a previous mandated reporting period as specified by the HHS Secretary. Data for reporting dates May 1, 2024 - October 31, 2024 represent voluntarily reported data in the absence of a mandate. Data for reporting dates beginning November 1, 2024 represent data reported during a current mandated reporting period.

90 Days Full Range

When a person is infected with SARS-cov-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), particles of the virus get shed when they use the restroom. These viral particles can be measured by collecting samples at water treatment plants. Historically, the concentration of virus particles in wastewater correlates strongly with the number of reported infections in that area. So, whether or not someone gets tested, wastewater surveillance can be a reliable indicator of COVID-19 in the community. This graph shows the average virus concentration in 8 wastewater surveillance sites closest to St. Louis City.

Variant Proportions Based on Genomic Sequencing

Variant Proportions Based on Genomic Sequencing View Data

2/1/2025 - 4/12/2025 are weighted estimates based on reported genomic sequencing results.

Viruses sometimes make mistakes copying their genetic code as they replicate themselves over and over in our bodies when we have an infection. These mistakes, or mutations, can sometimes lead to advantages for these new variants of the virus: they may be able to bind more tightly to a host cell, or they may be harder for our immune systems to detect, and as a result the virus can spread more easily. The CDC uses genomic surveillance to track variants of concern and identify which variants are causing the most infections. Variant proportions for HHS Region 7 (which includes Missouri) are displayed in this graph.
