DriveThroughPalmSunday

05 APRIL 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: Rev. RUSSELL LACKEY, left, follows "Social Distancing" guidelines while he hands out palms during a drive through Palm Sunday service sponsored by Luther Memorial Church on the campus of Grand View University in Des Moines. About 150 people attended the service. They remained in their cars while the ministers read a short passage from the Bible, handed out palms and blessed them. On Sunday, 05 April, Iowa reported 868 confirmed cases of the Novel Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) and COVID-19. There have been 22 deaths attributed to COVID-19 in Iowa. Restaurants, bars, movie theaters, places that draw crowds are closed until 30 April. The Governor has not ordered "shelter in place" but several Mayors, including the Mayor of Des Moines, have asked residents to stay in their homes for all but essential needs. People are being encouraged to practice "social distancing" and many businesses are requiring or encouraging employees to telecommute. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
