Iowa has identified three presumptive positive cases of coronavirus, the first cases in the state, according to the state Department of Public Health.
The three patients are all residents of Johnson County who were on a cruise in Egypt, the department said in a press release on Sunday.
The group was on the cruise between February 17 and March 2. They returned to the US on March 3, state public health director Gerd Clabaugh said during a press conference.
One of the patients is between the ages of 41 and 60, and the two others are between the ages of 61 and 80, the release said.
Two patients have underlying health conditions, but none of them required hospitalization, according to the release.
A total of 37 people have undergone testing in Iowa for the virus. Of those 37, three were positive, 26 were negative and eight tests are still pending, according to Clabaugh.
