The following release is to provide information related to various rumors and statements specific to the community of Postville and to also provide additional information related to the COVID-19 response within Allamakee County.
There have been numerous calls, emails and social media posts reference the arrival of busloads of people within Postville from outside jurisdictions. In conversation with the local officials in Postville, to include law enforcement and the leadership within the community mentioned, there is no evidence or credible proof that this is occurring. While travel is recommended to be restricted in many cases from certain areas, this is not mandated, and people are still free to travel within the United States. Our guidance to everyone is to avoid unnecessary travel at this time and social distancing is in place.
