Iowa Governor Rejects White House Task Force Recommendations As Coronavirus Cases Surge

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds is continuing to reject several recommendations from the White House Coronavirus Task Force as coronavirus cases surge in the state.

The most recent report from the task force, dated Aug. 30, says Iowa has the highest rate of new coronavirus infections in the country, and the fifth highest test positivity rate.

Reynolds has repeatedly said she doesn’t believe a mask requirement is needed and has not given local governments the authority to enforce their own mask mandates.
