By Todd Epp Iowa coronavirus graphic. DES MOINES, Iowa (KELO.com) With COVID-19 outbreaks growing in Iowa’s nursing homes, state inspectors report finding no infection-control violations in many of the facilities with the biggest current, active outbreaks. As of Wednesday afternoon, there were 141 current, active outbreaks in Iowa nursing homes, according to the Iowa Department of Public Health. There are 5,725 infections associated with those outbreaks. That’s an increase of 236 from the 5,489 nursing home infections reported just 24 hours earlier. The current number of nursing home outbreaks is also more than five times the number of infections reported in late September when there were 1,030 infections tied to 50 active outbreaks in Iowa nursing homes.
