House Covid task force report shows dire warnings to Iowa, the state with the
highest case rate this week
(CNN) A White House coronavirus task force report sent to officials in Iowa
this week warns of dire new case increases across rural and urban areas of the
state and calls for a mask mandate, the closure of bars and a plan from
universities as the pandemic intensifies in the Midwest.
CNN has obtained the 9-page August 30 report for the state, first reported by
the Des Moines Register, from the Iowa Department of Public Health. The task
force releases state-by-state reports each week to governors' offices, and has
so far declined to make them publicly available.The report says that Iowa is in
the task force-defined "red zone" and warns that the state has the highest rate
of cases in the US, which increased by 77.4% from the previous week. "Iowa is
in the red zone for cases, indicating more than 100 new cases per 100,000
population last week, with the highest rate in the country. Iowa is in the red
zone for test positivity, indicating a rate above 10%, with the 5th highest
rate in the country," the report says, an increase in both cases and test
positivity over the last week.
