One questioner asked when it will be safe for older people, who are more at risk from coronavirus, to go out again.
Dr. Adi Pour is director of the Douglas County Health Department.
“I just don’t know when that is gonna happen. We have not hit the peak yet. Testing on this for the last two, three weeks, our peak is far, is not there yet.

Congressman Bacon added that current federal directions were set to last for 15 days, and will be reevaluated based on where the pandemic stands.
