Hospitalizations across the state have been steadily increasing since July 18, one health official said, with a 20% increase since Sept. 22.
If Nebraska matches the fatality rate seen in spots where cases surged and overwhelmed hospitals, James Lawler says, the state could add 1,900 COVID-19 deaths by January.
Record numbers of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have prompted health care providers to call for Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts to adopt stricter health measures to stem the spread of the disease.
