The Iowa Department of Public Health today (10-a.m., Sunday), reports 423 new COVID-19 positive test results came back from the labs over the past 24-hours, for a pandemic total of 359,380. There were no additional deaths reported. The pandemic total is currently 5,336 deaths, with 4,803 the result of underlying causes and 533 where COVID was a contributing factor. Pre-existing conditions make up 4,910 of the total number of death, while deaths at Long-Term Care (LTC) facilities account for 2,139 COVID deaths.
Beginning Saturday, the State implemented changes to the coronavirus.iowa.gov website, changing how it reports positive COVID-19 cases. The health department now reports total positive cases instead of individuals positive. That has a caused a sharp increase in total positive cases overnight Friday into Saturday.
Additionally, the health department is no longer reporting 14-day positivity rates by county. This is a metric that schools used to determine if they could apply for a waiver to provide 100% online learning. A page that previously reported this data has been taken offline.
The State data show hospitalizations declined from 238 on Saturday to 229 Sunday. COVID patients in an ICU were up slightly, to 58. There are also 38 COVID-symptom patients admitted to hospitals over the previous 24-hours, compared to 34 on Saturday, and 27 patients were on a ventilator (compared to 24 Saturday). In RMCC Region 4 (Hospitals in western/southwest Iowa), 15 people are hospitalized with COVID symptoms (four more than previously reported), five people are in an ICU, one person was admitted over the past 24-hours, and two people are on a ventilator.
Iowa’s 14-day positivity rate is up a bit, to 4.4%, and the 7-day average is now 4.0%.
In the KJAN listening area, here are the current number positive cases by County; The # of new cases since yesterday {+} – if any; and the total number of deaths in each county to date:
The Iowa Hawkeye men’s basketball team announced Saturday that a former basketball player Michael Reaves has died at age 54.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the reaves family.” The university said he died at his home in Georgia on Friday where he was with his family. Reaves played for the Hawkeyes between 1985 and 1988 for head coaches George Raveling and Tom Davis.
When he was playing for Iowa, the Hawkeyes won 95 games, which is the second-most games won in the program’s history within a four-year time frame. He also played in four NCAA tournament reaching the Elite Eight in 1987 and the Sweet 16 in 1988.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Austin Reaves scored 20 points to lead No. 9 Oklahoma to a wild 66-56 victory over Iowa State, Saturday.

Iowa State trailed by as many as 21 in the first half before rallying to a 46-45 lead on Tre Jackson’s 3-pointer with 11:29 remaining.
The Sooners then responded with a 16-4 run to grab the lead for good. De’Vion Harmon and Umoja Gibson each made a 3-pointer before Reaves capped the decisive stretch with a free throw, making it 61-50 with 4:38 left.
