SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) – Health officials confirmed four new COVID-19 deaths and 158 new cases of the virus in Woodbury County on Tuesday following a Memorial Day weekend hiatus in reporting.
As of this writing, the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) reports 2,638 total positive virus cases in Woodbury County. That total includes 1,280 recoveries.

SDHD announced last week that the IDPH COVID-19 dashboard will update in real-time and some data points won’t match between the health departments because they may be utilizing different sources.
The state COVID-19 database was down for maintenance over Memorial Day weekend and consequently, SDHD did not provide a report on virus cases. All numbers counted as new in today’s report have accumulated since Friday.
Detailed demographic information and updated case numbers can be found on IDPH’s COVID-19 Case Counts Dashboard.
