Three Rivers Public Health Department (3RPHD), which serves the counties of Dodge, Saunders and Washington counties, is continuing to see cases within the health district.
“This past week we have seen a huge increase in cases, and we need everyone to avoid the Three C’s– 1. Crowded Places, 2. Close Contact and 3. Confined Spaces. We are at a critical time where we need people to wear their mask and follow the above guidance as it could save someone else’s life.” said Terra Uhing, Executive Director at Three Rivers Public Health Department.
As a reminder, there is testing available through Test Nebraska all over the state of Nebraska. Visit https://www.testnebraska.com/en to get scheduled for a COVID-19 test. There is no cost for this test through Test Nebraska.
Sadly, 3rphd is reporting two new COVID-19 related deaths. A Dodge County woman in her 90s with underlying health conditions and a Washington County woman in her 90s with underlying health conditions. This brings our total death count to 24 deaths in Dodge County, 4 deaths in Saunders, and 8 deaths in Washington County for a total of 36 deaths in the 3RPHD health district.
3RPHD updates the community risk dials each Wednesday, and the 3RPHD Data Dashboard is updated each weekday here.
