The numbers come from the state’s coronavirus tracking site.

Fourteen Counties in Iowa now have an average positive rate over the last two weeks above %.  That list of counties includes Winnebago County.

Governor Kim Reynolds established % average positivity rate as a threshold for schools to meet to apply for online only learning but she has since said it is just guideline, not a requirement.

The death of two more Iowans brings the statewide death toll from COVID-19 to 1,317 individuals.  Of those who’ve died from the virus, 685 were residents of long term care facilities.

There are currently 353 Iowans hospitalized with COVID-19, the highest single day figure since late May.  There are currently 96 patients in the ICU and 39 on ventilators.
