The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Winneshiek County remains at five

Winneshiek County Public Health Director Krista Vanden Brink says the peak of COVID-19 cases in Iowa still is expected in another week or two, by the end of April.

For the moment, however, it's quiet in Winneshiek County. On Monday the Iowa Department of Public Health announced the number of COVID-19 cases in Winneshiek County is still five. That means just two new cases have been confirmed in the last two weeks in Iowa.

Vanden Brink is worried that people will stop sheltering at home, but she urges them to keep it up. She also says as the threat of the coronavirus passes, it will be "a gradual opening," not an immediate return to the time before restrictions were imposed.
