Dubuque County Has One New COVID-19 Case While State Sees Sharp Increase

One more confirmed case of COVID-19 was reported Sunday in Dubuque County, as the statewide total skyrocketed up. Statewide, 389 new cases were reported Sunday — about double what previously had been the most reported cases in a single day in Iowa. Previously, the state had never even reported 200 new cases in one day. State officials say the big jump is attributed largely to the testing of those working in meat-processing facilities. That accounted for 261 of the 389 new cases announced Sunday.
