The Jackson County Health Department confirms the first coronavirus death in the county, which marks the second in Missouri.

The patient was in eastern Jackson County, which covers much of the Kansas City metropolitan area.

The health department says the patient was a woman in her 80's and had not recently traveled. Officials have not provided any other details in respect to the family at this time.

As of Friday morning, there are 47 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Missouri. That’s up from the state’s 28 confirmed cases on March 19.

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson spoke on the update Friday afternoon and also issued an order to prohibit gatherings of more than 10 people, which takes effect Saturday.
