08 MAY 2020 - WEST DES MOINES, IOWA: People social distance while they wait for Vice President Mike Pence to speak at the Hy-Vee corporate headquarters in West Des Moines. Pence was in Iowa for two meetings Friday. He visited the corporate headquarters of Hy-Vee, a regional grocery store chain, to talk about the security of the food supply system and met with religious leaders at a local Presbyterian Church to talk about reopening places of worship at the height of Iowa’s COVID-19 pandemic. The Governor of Iowa started reopening businesses in the state even though coronavirus (SAR-CoV-2) infections are continuing to rise. President Trump signed an executive order on April 28 to compel meat packing plants to stay open as a part of critical infrastructure, but in Iowa many plants remain closed. The meat packing industry is the main source of COVID-19 infections in rural parts of Iowa. Iowa has recorded 11,457 cases of COVID-19 and 243 deaths caused by virus. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
