Public Health Proclamation tightens restrictions for Fayette County residents
Governor Reynolds issued a proclamation April 16, 2020, tightening restrictions for Fayette County residents to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in the county and the state.
“Our region of the state has reached the threshold for which extra measures are needed,” said Fayette County Public Health coordinator Jessica Wegner. “This threshold includes regional measures of the rate of COVID-19 illness and hospitalization, long-term care outbreaks and the percentage of the population age 65 and older.”
The affected region includes Allamakee, Benton, Black Hawk, Bremer, Buchanan, Clayton, Delaware, Dubuque, Fayette, Grundy, Howard, Jones, Linn and Winneshiek counties.
The proclamation is in effect until April 30:
