EDITOR’S NOTE: The daily numbers we report do not match the numbers the state reports for each day. 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.
