The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) said Monday (Today), six more Iowans have died from COVID-19. That brings the total number of COVID-19 related deaths to 271. The IDPH reports 77, 292 people have been tested, with 12,373 (15.9%) cases coming back as positive for the virus.

5,249 Iowans have recovered from the virus. The actual number of infections is thought to be far higher because many people have not been tested, and studies suggest people can be infected with the virus without feeling sick.
