(Radio Iowa) – As COVID-19 positivity rates and hospitalizations sharply rise in Iowa, Governor Kim Reynolds says the number of testing kits is starting to dwindle as they’re in such high demand.

Reynolds says Iowa’s contract with Nomi Health is being amended and another 360-thousand test kits are being ordered. More than 45-hundred new COVID cases are reported in the state today along with 30 more deaths. Health officials say about two-percent of all Iowans currently have the virus.
