Gov. Reynolds Statement on COVID Restrictions Reemerging 

 
DES MOINES - Gov. Kim Reynolds released the following statement in response to COVID-19 restrictions reemerging across the country:  

 

“Since news broke of COVID-19 restrictions being re-instated at some colleges and businesses across the U.S., concerned Iowans have been calling my office asking whether the same could happen here. My answer—not on my watch. In Iowa, government respects the people it serves and fights to protect their rights. I rejected the mandates and lockdowns of 2020, and my position has not changed.”
