Due to recent developments with COVID-19, local hospitals, nursing homes, and care facilities have taken precautionary steps to protect their patients and residents.

The following facilities are enforcing visitor restrictions for the time being:

- Knoxville Hospital & Clinics (https://knoxvillehospital.org/)

- Pella Regional Health Center (https://www.pellahealth.org/)

- Accura Healthcare (https://www.accura.healthcare/knoxville-location)

- West Ridge Specialty Care (https://www.careinitiatives.org/west-ridge-specialty-care)

- Homestead Assisted Living (https://www.midwest-health.com/knoxville/)

To learn more about visitor restrictions, please contact the organization.

School officials across Marion County are also monitoring the situation and communicating with public health officials to be proactive and preventative when it comes to the virus. A letter from Marion County Superintendents was shared with the public discussing the schools’ plans in regard to the virus. At this time, schools across the county are planning to stay open, per recommendation of the Marion County Health Department.

School officials across the county are staying in contact with the Marion County Health Department and the Iowa Department of Public Health to monitor the situation. Should additional action be required, the districts will coordinate and communicate the information at that time.

The full letter from Marion County Superintendents can be read here.

Taking simple measures to ensure the safety of you and everyone in the community is the best way to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Thank you for being proactive and doing your part to keep Knoxville healthy.
