EDITOR’S NOTE: The daily numbers we report do not match the numbers the state is reporting for each day. Every day at 10am, we take the previous day’s 10am numbers and subtract them with the current state numbers at 10am. Instead of reporting a day ago, we want to provide you with the most up-to-date information. For Black Hawk and Linn counties, we are providing the COVID-19 site numbers for their counties. For Johnson and Dubuque counties, we are providing numbers for the state website.
