The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) has been notified of 83 additional positive cases and 519 negative cases of Iowans with COVID-19, for a total of 868 positive cases. There have been a total of 9,973 negative tests to date, which includes testing reported by the State Hygienic Lab and other labs.
More than 10% of all positive cases in Iowa are occurring among long term care staff and residents. More than 40% of all deaths in Iowa are associated with outbreaks in long-term care facilities. This statistic underscores that COVID-19 poses the most risk for older adults above the age of 60 with chronic health conditions, resulting in more severe illness and death.
The Iowa Department of Public Health and public health officials continue to work closely with Iowa’s long-term care associations and facilities, providing guidance for sick residents, transferring residents in need of care to hospitals, constantly monitoring the health of other residents and staff, and implementing additional infection prevention measures.
