*NOTE:  On 12/9/20, the Iowa Dept. of Public Health (IDPH) changed how deaths are recorded to better align with what is happening nationally and are reflected in these numbers.

**NOTE:  On 2/2/21, deaths were readjusted by IDPH due to the CDC readings of death certificates—deaths did not all occur during this time period.

***NOTE: On 2/10/21, Iowa changed the way it displayed information on its website.  They now list the total number of positive tests instead of individuals that tested positive (cases).  The SFS data reflects individuals and not the positive tests.
