The total number of COVID-19-related deaths in the state to date is 96, according to the DHHS data dashboard. The state case total, as of 5:45 p.m. Central Daylight Time, is 8,234. Nebraska’s COVID-19 case totals are updated daily at https://ift.tt/2J70Ckx.
Local health departments are reporting deaths and cases in their jurisdictions. In the event of a discrepancy between DHHS dashboard data and deaths or cases reported by local public health officials, data reported by the local health department should be considered the most up to date.
Governor Pete Ricketts has announced changes to some of the state’s Directed Health Measures, including re-openings of selected businesses in specific regions of Nebraska.

Governor Ricketts recently announced TestNebraska, a public-private partnership designed to increase testing capacity and #CrushTheCurve in Nebraska. TestNebraska launched this week in Grand Island, Omaha and Lincoln. Additional mobile testing sites are expected to become available shortly.
The Governor is urging all Nebraskans to take the assessment provided on the TestNebraska website to help identify cases of COVID-19 in the state. After taking the assessment, participants who fit the criteria will be notified via phone or email that they qualify to be tested for COVID-19. Nebraskans can take the assessment at https://ift.tt/3dkH2OS. Because people can develop symptoms quickly, Nebraskans are asked to update their assessments from time to time as needed.
DHHS supports Governor Ricketts in urging Nebraskans to follow the Six Rules to Keep Nebraska Healthy.
Stay home. No non-essential errands and no social gatherings. Respect the ten-person limits.
Socially distance your work. Work from home or use the six-foot rule as much as possible in the workplace.
Shop alone. Do this only once a week and do not take your family with you.
Help kids social distance. Play at home, no group sports and no playgrounds.
Help seniors stay at home. This can be done by shopping for them. Do not visit long-term facilities.
Exercise daily. Do your best to stay as healthy and safe as you can.
