COVID-19
Linn County’s highest priority is the health and well-being of our community. Linn County Public Health (LCPH), a department within Linn County government, is working closely with Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), as well as local public officials and community partners to plan for prevention, response, and recovery to the global outbreak of COVID-19.
COVID-19 Community Level
LCPH and the CDC continue to recommend taking precautions to protect yourself and others from COVID-19 based on the COVID-19 Community Level in our area. Community Level is primarily informed by local hospitalization activity to ensure hospitals have the capacity to respond to a potential influx of cases. The County Transmission Level is based on the current positivity rate in our area.
You can also monitor the City of Cedar Rapids Wastewater Report to watch COVID-19 levels indicated by their sampling.
