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.
“We continue to see large increases in COVID-19 cases. In the past seven days, we have had 682 new cases and 1,226 new cases in the last 14 days. Please stay home when you are sick or if you have been tested. It is also important to wear a mask anytime you are out in the public—we know that masking does work.” 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.
