The 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.
“In the past seven days we have seen 576 new cases within the health district, and we need everyone to avoid the Three C’s– 1. Crowded Places, 2. Close Contact and 3. Confined Spaces. We also need others to wear a mask—we know that masking does work, we have seen that evidence,” 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.
