DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa health officials say 64 additional cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed as of Sunday morning, bringing the state’s total to nearly 300.
The Iowa Department of Public Health said Saturday in a news release that the new cases included 14 in Linn County and 12 in Polk County. Johnson County still leads the state with 61 cases as of Sunday morning.
The new cases include 29 who range in age from 18 to 40; 22 who are 41-60 years old; and 13 who are older than 60. There have been 4,375 who have tested negative to date and three deaths from the virus.
The new totals come a day after Gov. Kim Reynolds activated more than three dozen more Iowa Army National Guard members to help handle coronavirus response missions across the state.
