People who visited those locations on those dates are at a low risk for contracting the coronavirus. However, they should still monitor for symptoms. 

If you are sick or think you may be sick, you need to stay home, the health department release states. 

The coronavirus has many symptoms, including fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscles or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting and diarrhea. 

People who are experiencing symptoms can use virtual care options to seek treatment without exposing others to illness. Links to those services are available at health.springfieldmo.gov/coronavirus.
