DES MOINES, IOWA (August 30, 2023) — Governor 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 US, 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.”
