How has COVID-19 affected Ames?
Covid 19 has hit us big in Ames. The New York Times lists us as a hotspot for Covid- 19. Because of that, there is a mask mandate in Story County and a COVID testing site in Ames.
Right now there are 4,306 cases in Story County, and most of those cases are in Ames. Eighteen people have died from COVID-19 in Story County.
But the cases are still rising in Story County and in Iowa.
I have seen students at Iowa State University partying, and it is driving up the cases.
ISU students can currently be tested for COVID through the university.
Your donation will support the student journalists of Ames High School, and Iowa needs student journalists. Your contribution will allow us to cover our annual website hosting costs.
Hey, so if you see some of my stories, you will see I am very critical with social media and a lot of this.
