OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Mask mandates are expiring in several of the state's largest cities as more people continue to get vaccinated for the coronavirus.
Lincoln's mask mandate will expire at the end of Thursday, Omaha's will disappear at the end of next Tuesday and in the Omaha suburbs, Ralston ended its mandate earlier this week, the Omaha World-Herald reports.
The state has seen infection rates come down as vaccinations have become ore widely available.
“Overall, we’ve been winning the race between infections and injections,” Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Director Pat Lopez said.
