REGIONS
Except for Lancaster County, all Nebraska counties are under a statewide Directed Health Measure. Those 92 counties had moved into the final phase of re-opening at various points throughout the summer. Effective Oct. 21, Gov. Pete Ricketts re-instated some restrictions due to an increase in COVID-19 hospitalizations. Effective Nov. 11, Ricketts instated further restrictions.
An explanation of the original four phases is available on the Nebraska DHHS website.
