Local health departments are reporting deaths and cases in their jurisdictions. In the event of a discrepancy between DHHS dashboard data and deaths or cases reported by local public health officials, data reported by the local health department should be considered the most up to date.
A death included in the DHHS news release on Saturday was erroneously reported into the electronic tracking system. It was removed from the total count.
The total number of COVID-19-related deaths in the state to date is 38, according to the DHHS data dashboard. The total is 1,722. Nebraska’s COVID-19 case totals are updated daily at http://dhhs.ne.gov/coronavirus.
