(Des Moines, IA) — Iowa’s governor says she’s recovering from a bad cold that caused to miss public events last Thursday and Friday. Governor Kim Reynolds told reporters today (Wednesday) ““It’s not Covid. I tested again this morning, so we’ll continue to monitor that.” Reynolds took a Covid test last Thursday that came back negative as well. She says she probably picked up the cold from the nursing home where her mother is being cared for. The latest data from the Iowa Department of Public Health shows 61 percent of patients in Iowa hospitals were admitted for treatment of Covid. All Iowa hospital patients are screened for Covid and about a thousand patients have tested positive for the virus.
