15 MARCH 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: Pastor RACHEL THORSON MITHELMAN leads Sunday services at St. John's Lutheran Church in Des Moines. Attendance at St. John's was about ⅔ below normal for a Lenten Sunday this week. Most churches in the Des Moines area canceled their Sunday services or switched to an online service this week. The churches that conducted Sunday services imposed "social distancing" guidelines, including no physical contact, and had significantly lower attendance. The Governor of Iowa announced Saturday night that the Coronavirus in Iowa had entered the "community spread" phase when a person in Dallas County, in the Des Moines metropolitan area, tested positive for Coronavirus. This is the first reported case in the Des Moines area. As of Sunday morning, Iowa was reporting 18 people tested positive for Coronavirus. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
