LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Governor Ricketts announced the end is near for Nebraska’s State of Emergency. The emergency was initially brought on by COVID-19 back in March of last year but will end this week.
He says because COVID-19 hospitalizations are so low in the state, it’s time to get back to normal.
“All of it was designed to be able to slow the spread of the virus and make sure we preserved our hospital capacity and we have done that very successfully,” Ricketts said. “Now at 27 hospitalizations, we’re well below one percent of our hospital beds are being used with coronavirus patients, so that’s all very good news.”
