Iowa confirms 3 presumptive cases of coronavirus.

DES MOINES (KTIV) -- Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds has announced the state has confirmed three cases of coronavirus.

According to the Iowa Department of Public Health, the individuals are from Johnson County: one middle-age (41-60 years) adult and two older adults (61-80).

The IDPH says two of the individuals had underlying health conditions. One did not. None required hospitalization and are recovering at home in isolation.

"All three individuals were part of a cruise in Egypt,” said IDPH Medical Director and State Epidemiologist, Dr. Caitlin Pedati. “IDPH is working with local public health to assess potential exposures to others. These cases are an important reminder that all Iowans need to help prevent the spread of illness by washing hands frequently, staying home when ill, and covering coughs and sneezes with a tissue.”
