Iowa’s first Covid cases confirmed one year ago today
It was a year ago today that Governor Kim Reynolds announced confirmation of the first cases of Covid in Iowa.
Dr. Nicholas Mohr was working in the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics’ intensive care unit the night the first Covid patient was admitted to the hospital.
“We had a group of nurses and physicians who had been training and preparing for that to happen, but when our first patient came, obviously knew that it was starting and we really didn’t know what the next year was going to hold,” Mohr said this weekend.
