Every day at 10 a.m., we take the previous day’s digits from 10 a.m. and subtract them with the current state digits at 10 a.m. Rather than reporting a day late, we want to give you the most up-to-date information. For Black Hawk and Linn counties, we are reporting numbers from their county COVID-19 websites. For Johnson and Dubuque counties, we are reporting numbers from the state website.
