The Iowa DNR is working to counteract rumors posted on Facebook and other social media that the coronavirus has led to changes in Iowa's hunting and fishing laws.

"Despite rumors on social media channels, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has no plans to eliminate seasons, relax regulations or change license prices," says a DNR news release.

"Fishing and hunting regulations exist to protect human safety as well as wildlife populations," said Iowa DNR administrator Dale Garner.
