SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) -- Missouri officials say the state has a second case of the novel coronavirus.

Gov. Mike Parson announced that the patient is in the early 20s and had recently traveled to Austria.

The patient submitted to a test on Thursday and was found to be positive for COVID-19.

Parson said the patient is quarantined at home and is expected to recover.

He said cases of patients with the virus are travel-related.

St. Louis meanwhile has joined Kansas City in banning all public events with more than 1,000 people in response to the coronavirus.
