Neighboring Buena Vista County lost its number one hot spot distinction in New York Times data, even as it spiked another 126 cases (8.5%) over the weekend — more than any of the counties near Webster County. With 1,593 cases, it now leads as second in the nation for fastest-growing infection rate after being beat out by Lee County, Arkansas.

Every one of the top 13 counties in Iowa by per capita COVID-19 infection rates is home to a meatpacking plant. The only other county in the state with a meatpacking plant, Allamakee County, ranked number 15.

Buena Vista County’s death toll stands at six. Webster and Humboldt counties each have had one death. Wright County has not had any deaths yet.
