IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) —Johnson County health officials say they have no indication that the coronavirus has spread in the Iowa City area beyond 14 residents who tested positive after a cruise to Egypt.
Johnson County Public Health Director Dave Koch told reporters Friday that he has no indication of “community spread” in the area. He acknowledged that not all of those on that cruise or a second one that was cut short have been tested for the virus. He says testing is reserved only for people showing symptoms.
Gov. Kim Reynolds says Iowa now has 17 cases, with one additional western Iowan added.
