DES MOINES, IOWA (February 8, 2021) — Governor Kim Reynolds signed a new Public Health Disaster proclamation on February 5, 2020, which relaxes existing public health measures effective Sunday, February 7, 2021, while continuing critical regulatory relief to those on the frontlines of COVID19 recovery for an additional 30 days.

The proclamation strongly encourages Iowans, businesses, and organizations to take reasonable public health measures consistent with guidance from the Iowa Department of Public Health. 

The proclamation is also modified to reflect changes due to the passage of Senate File 160 and extends the waiver on transportation restrictions for overweight loads.

The proclamation can found online here.
