DES MOINES, IA. (KELO.com) — More than forty Iowans were on cruise ships that may have been touched by the Coronavirus.
Governor Kim Reynolds says they are being tested.
“These individuals had limited interaction in their communities and they did not attend any large public events, so the potential risk to others is considered low.”
There are now eight confirmed Coronavirus cases in Iowa. That may be only the beginning.
“The reality is that Covid-19 is now here and we can expect that the number of tests and the number of positive cases will continue to increase,” says Reynolds at a Coronavirus update in Des Moines.
Seven of the confirmed cases are in Johnson County, Iowa. The eighth is in Pottawattamie County.
