Earlier today, I shared the statewide coronavirus toll Iowa reported for the 24-hour period from Dec. 4 at 10 am to Dec. 5 at 10 am, including 62 deaths (2,665 total) and 2,369 new confirmed cases (82,369 currently active).

Now for daily county data . . .

There are 77 counties where Gov. Reynolds loosened Iowa's limited coronavirus restrictions May 1, without an alternative safety plan.

On April 30, they had 559 total cases and 11 total deaths.

Today, they had 1,148 new cases (total 104,451) and 44 more deaths (total 1,190).

Coronavirus deaths in the 77 counties were reported in Adair, Appanoose, Butler (3), Carroll, Cass, Chickasaw, Clay, Clinton, Davis (2), Delaware, Floyd (2), Hamilton, Humboldt, Ida, Jefferson, Jones, Keokuk, Kossuth, Lee (2), Lyon, Marion (2), Mills, Mitchell, Monona, . . .

Coronavirus deaths in the 77 counties reported today (cont'd): Osceola, Palo Alto, Plymouth, Pottawattamie (2), Sac, Shelby (3), Story, Union, Warren (2), and Winneshiek.

These 44 deaths are the most deaths reported in a single day in the 77 counties.
