Iowa Department of Public Health reported 661 new positive COVID-19 cases on Sunday

(Des Moines)-The Iowa Department of Public Health reported 661 new positive test results for COVID-19 as of Sunday morning.  State health officials say a “significant number” of tests weren’t reported over the weekend due to a backlog in the electronic reporting system.  Although the state files a formal report each day at 10:00 a-m, the numbers are expected to be updated on the COVID-19 website until they are current.  Officials say 38-thousand-564 positive cases have been confirmed in Iowa since the outbreak began.  Seven additional deaths brings the state’s toll to 792.
